Beschreibung:
This study reports the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and gender on secondary students' academic results. Bayesian statistical analyses of 4967 observations show that gender, family size as well as parental education and occupation all contribute to students' performance in STEM subjects. Female students are reportedly less vulnerable to SES effects than males. The results provide cultural insights into the role of SES and policy implications to bridge the social gap in education
