A new study indicates that when boys are in a classroom with more girls, they perform better. They tend to outperform their male peers in classrooms with an equal mix of genders. The research findings suggest that boys' enhanced performance around girls may stem from the girls' higher classroom concentration and motivation, which can influence the boys positively. Understanding these performance differences can inform educators and parents, helping them provide the necessary support and resources to ensure that all students have the opportunity to excel in their education.
