&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The notion that girls are not good with numbers and science is just a myth, if data from a nationwide survey of more than 2.7 lakh students is any indicator. The survey conducted on Class X student showed girls performed on an equal footing with boys in mathematics, science and social sciences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The study, however, upheld another common conception &amp;mdash; that girls have better language skills. Girls outperformed boys in English and other languages in the survey conducted in 2015 by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in 7,216 schools following different boards across 33 states and Union territories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The study also highlighted rampant under-performance among students in rural settings, those studying in government ment schools and hailing from underprivileged backgrounds, such as Dalits and tribals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another disturbing trend was the poor showing in science and maths by students in a majority of states. Scores in science were below the national average in 24 states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In maths, the survey showed 21 states falling below the average. In general, students struggled the most in subjects that involved numerical problems and practicals. The study also showed that a few states were far ahead of the rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mathematics, only four states and UTs performed way above the national average while students from 21 states and UTs were assessed to be significantly below the average. In science, as many as 24 states and UTs were below the national average even while a large variation was found in scores within states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The survey revealed that the majority of the states and UTs are performing below the overall average score in all subject areas... Low achievement is largely an outcome of lack of conceptual clarity and understanding,&amp;quot; says the report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On average, just 41% of the questions on English were answered correctly. In mathematics, the percentage was even less (40%). It was slightly better for science (43%) and social sciences (47%). It was only in modern Indian languages (MIL) that students on average managed to answer more than half the questions correctly (53.5%).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shockingly, more than one-third of the students scored between 0 to 35%. Only 2% of them could score 75% and above in science and social studies while none could score as much in English and mathematics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among states, Karnataka performed the best, with students achieving scores significantly higher than the national average in four of the five subjects assessed. In English, the north-eastern states of Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Sikkim were among the seven best performers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report also summarised the performances of various central and state Boards &amp;mdash; in subjects as well as range of correct answers. In English, the top three boards were ICSE, CBSE and Nagaland board while in mathematics, ICSE, CBSE and Odisha board had the highest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In science and social science, too, ICSE students performed better than the rest. In MIL, West Bengal board students outperformed the rest.

The survey conducted on Class X student showed girls performed on an equal footing with boys in mathematics, science and social sciences.<br /><br />The study, however, upheld another common conception &mdash; that girls have better language skills. Girls outperformed boys in English and other languages in the survey conducted in 2015 by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in 7,216 schools following different boards across 33 states and Union territories.<br /><br />The study also highlighted rampant under-performance among students in rural settings, those studying in government ment schools and hailing from underprivileged backgrounds, such as Dalits and tribals.<br /><br />Another disturbing trend was the poor showing in science and maths by students in a majority of states. Scores in science were below the national average in 24 states.<br /><br />In maths, the survey showed 21 states falling below the average. In general, students struggled the most in subjects that involved numerical problems and practicals. The study also showed that a few states were far ahead of the rest. <br /><br />In mathematics, only four states and UTs performed way above the national average while students from 21 states and UTs were assessed to be significantly below the average.

It was only in modern Indian languages (MIL) that students on average managed to answer more than half the questions correctly (53.5%).<br /><br />Shockingly, more than one-third of the students scored between 0 to 35%. Only 2% of them could score 75% and above in science and social studies while none could score as much in English and mathematics.<br /><br />Among states, Karnataka performed the best, with students achieving scores significantly higher than the national average in four of the five subjects assessed. In English, the north-eastern states of Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Sikkim were among the seven best performers.<br /><br />The report also summarised the performances of various central and state Boards &mdash; in subjects as well as range of correct answers. In English, the top three boards were ICSE, CBSE and Nagaland board while in mathematics, ICSE, CBSE and Odisha board had the highest scores.<br /><br />In science and social science, too, ICSE students performed better than the rest.

On average, just 41% of the questions on English were answered correctly. In mathematics, the percentage was even less (40%). It was slightly better for science (43%) and social sciences (47%). It was only in modern Indian languages (MIL) that students on average managed to answer more than half the questions correctly (53.5%).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shockingly, more than one-third of the students scored between 0 to 35%. Only 2% of them could score 75% and above in science and social studies while none could score as much in English and mathematics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among states, Karnataka performed the best, with students achieving scores significantly higher than the national average in four of the five subjects assessed. In English, the north-eastern states of Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Sikkim were among the seven best performers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report also summarised the performances of various central and state Boards &amp;mdash; in subjects as well as range of correct answers. In English, the top three boards were ICSE, CBSE and Nagaland board while in mathematics, ICSE, CBSE and Odisha board had the highest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In science and social science, too, ICSE students performed better than the rest. In MIL, West Bengal board students outperformed the rest.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The notion that girls are not good with numbers and science is just a myth, if data from a nationwide survey of more than 2.7 lakh students is any indicator. The survey conducted on Class X student showed girls performed on an equal footing with boys in mathematics, science and social sciences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The study, however, upheld another common conception &amp;mdash; that girls have better language skills. Girls outperformed boys in English and other languages in the survey conducted in 2015 by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in 7,216 schools following different boards across 33 states and Union territories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The study also highlighted rampant under-performance among students in rural settings, those studying in government ment schools and hailing from underprivileged backgrounds, such as Dalits and tribals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another disturbing trend was the poor showing in science and maths by students in a majority of states. Scores in science were below the national average in 24 states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In maths, the survey showed 21 states falling below the average. In general, students struggled the most in subjects that involved numerical problems and practicals. The study also showed that a few states were far ahead of the rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mathematics, only four states and UTs performed way above the national average while students from 21 states and UTs were assessed to be significantly below the average. In science, as many as 24 states and UTs were below the national average even while a large variation was found in scores within states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The survey revealed that the majority of the states and UTs are performing below the overall average score in all subject areas... Low achievement is largely an outcome of lack of conceptual clarity and understanding,&amp;quot; says the report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On average, just 41% of the questions on English were answered correctly. In mathematics, the percentage was even less (40%). It was slightly better for science (43%) and social sciences (47%). It was only in modern Indian languages (MIL) that students on average managed to answer more than half the questions correctly (53.5%).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shockingly, more than one-third of the students scored between 0 to 35%. Only 2% of them could score 75% and above in science and social studies while none could score as much in English and mathematics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among states, Karnataka performed the best, with students achieving scores significantly higher than the national average in four of the five subjects assessed. In English, the north-eastern states of Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Sikkim were among the seven best performers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report also summarised the performances of various central and state Boards &amp;mdash; in subjects as well as range of correct answers. In English, the top three boards were ICSE, CBSE and Nagaland board while in mathematics, ICSE, CBSE and Odisha board had the highest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The survey conducted on Class X student showed girls performed on an equal footing with boys in mathematics, science and social sciences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study, however, upheld another common conception &amp;mdash; that girls have better language skills. Girls outperformed boys in English and other languages in the survey conducted in 2015 by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in 7,216 schools following different boards across 33 states and Union territories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study also highlighted rampant under-performance among students in rural settings, those studying in government ment schools and hailing from underprivileged backgrounds, such as Dalits and tribals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another disturbing trend was the poor showing in science and maths by students in a majority of states. Scores in science were below the national average in 24 states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In maths, the survey showed 21 states falling below the average. In general, students struggled the most in subjects that involved numerical problems and practicals. The study also showed that a few states were far ahead of the rest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In mathematics, only four states and UTs performed way above the national average while students from 21 states and UTs were assessed to be significantly below the average. In science, as many as 24 states and UTs were below the national average even while a large variation was found in scores within states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The survey revealed that the majority of the states and UTs are performing below the overall average score in all subject areas... Low achievement is largely an outcome of lack of conceptual clarity and understanding,&amp;quot; says the report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On average, just 41% of the questions on English were answered correctly. In mathematics, the percentage was even less (40%). It was slightly better for science (43%) and social sciences (47%). It was only in modern Indian languages (MIL) that students on average managed to answer more than half the questions correctly (53.5%).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shockingly, more than one-third of the students scored between 0 to 35%. Only 2% of them could score 75% and above in science and social studies while none could score as much in English and mathematics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among states, Karnataka performed the best, with students achieving scores significantly higher than the national average in four of the five subjects assessed.

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>The notion that girls are not good with numbers and science is just a myth, if data from a nationwide survey of more than 2.7 lakh students is any indicator. The survey conducted on Class X student showed girls performed on an equal footing with boys in mathematics, science and social sciences.<br />
<br />
The study, however, upheld another common conception &mdash; that girls have better language skills. Girls outperformed boys in English and other languages in the survey conducted in 2015 by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in 7,216 schools following different boards across 33 states and Union territories.<br />
<br />
The study also highlighted rampant under-performance among students in rural settings, those studying in government ment schools and hailing from underprivileged backgrounds, such as Dalits and tribals.<br />
<br />
Another disturbing trend was the poor showing in science and maths by students in a majority of states. Scores in science were below the national average in 24 states.<br />
<br />
In maths, the survey showed 21 states falling below the average. In general, students struggled the most in subjects that involved numerical problems and practicals. The study also showed that a few states were far ahead of the rest. <br />
<br />
In mathematics, only four states and UTs performed way above the national average while students from 21 states and UTs were assessed to be significantly below the average. In science, as many as 24 states and UTs were below the national average even while a large variation was found in scores within states.<br />
<br />
&quot;The survey revealed that the majority of the states and UTs are performing below the overall average score in all subject areas... Low achievement is largely an outcome of lack of conceptual clarity and understanding,&quot; says the report.<br />
<br />
On average, just 41% of the questions on English were answered correctly. In mathematics, the percentage was even less (40%). It was slightly better for science (43%) and social sciences (47%). It was only in modern Indian languages (MIL) that students on average managed to answer more than half the questions correctly (53.5%).<br />
<br />
Shockingly, more than one-third of the students scored between 0 to 35%. Only 2% of them could score 75% and above in science and social studies while none could score as much in English and mathematics.<br />
<br />
Among states, Karnataka performed the best, with students achieving scores significantly higher than the national average in four of the five subjects assessed. In English, the north-eastern states of Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Sikkim were among the seven best performers.<br />
<br />
The report also summarised the performances of various central and state Boards &mdash; in subjects as well as range of correct answers. In English, the top three boards were ICSE, CBSE and Nagaland board while in mathematics, ICSE, CBSE and Odisha board had the highest scores.<br />
<br />
In science and social science, too, ICSE students performed better than the rest. In MIL, West Bengal board students outperformed the rest.

Girls as good as boys in maths: NCERT survey -Manash Pratim Gohain
