Around the world, girls do better than boys at school. These are the findings of a recent study that looked at the test results of l.5 million 15-year-olds in 74 regions across the globe．The level of gender equality in those regions made no difference to the results．Other factors, such as the income level of the region also had little impact on the findings．1n only three regions - Colombia, Costa Rica and the Indian state Hunches Pradesh．- was the trend reversed with boys doing better．

So what are the causes of girls' stronger performance? In the UK, girls outperform boys m exams that are taken at the age of 1 5 or 16, called Gases．According to education expert Ian Tone, this is down to the way girls and boys are brought up．"Boys are encouraged to be more active from an early gap, wile the restless movements of’ baby geris are pacified…

Therefore, girls develop the skill of sitting still for longer periods of time, which is user for academic pursuits like studying for GCSEs．"

He goes on to say' that boys often cluster together in larger groups than girls．Because of this they are more likely to be influenced by per pressure and develop a gang mentality．He says that GCSEs require a lot of solo work and are not viewed as 'cool’ ill a baldish culture．

This is backed up by research in the UK that says girls are out-performing boys at the age of five．So what is the answer: I Should girls and boys be educated separately? Or do exams and school! curricula need to be changed to better reflect boys’ skills? These are the questions facing educators many countries.

When McCurry reflects upon its popularity, what excites him most is the impact that this single image has had ore the real world．

“People volunteered to work in the refugee camps because of that photograph,” he says. “Afghans are incredibly proud of it, as the girl is poor but shows great pride, strong will and self – respect. It drew attention to their poor situation, and inspired a lot of people.” It also iced the Nations Geographic to set up the Afghan Children’s Fund – and meant that to this day, McCurry is never charged a fare by appreciative Afghan taxi drivers.

He sayd.

Google’s prototypes have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations, such as a child driving a toy car in the road, and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case, the car reacted safely.
