Girls do better than boys at school , even in countries women's liberties are severely restricted , a study has revealed .

New research shows that girls outperform boys in mathematics , reading and science literacy in 70 per cent of countries , of levels of national gender equality .

Psychologists at the universities of Glasgow and Missouri looked at the educational achievement levels of 1 . 5 million 15 - year - olds from around the world using Programme for International Student Assessment ( PISA ) data taken between 2000 2010 .

The findings , are published in the journal Intelligence , show that even in countries which are known for their lack of gender equality , including Qatar , Jordan and the United Arab Emirates , girls still outstrip educational performance of boys .

The study showed that there were only three regions where boys outperformed girls : Colombia , Costa Rica and the Indian state Himachal Pradesh .

Girls outperformed boys , on average , all the other regions , regardless of high or low levels of social , political and economic equality . , the pattern was different the highest achievement levels - with top performing boys doing better than top performing girls .

The United Kingdom and United States had no significant difference in educational achievement the two sexes , the study showed .

Dr Gijsbert Stoet , of the University of Glasgow , led the study , said : " we see that , with the exception of high - achievers , boys have poorer educational outcomes than girls around the world , independent of social equality indicators .

" more is that this gap in not reducing . policy makers are seriously concerned about gender equality in education , this ought to be their top priority .

" That it is not , is probably fuelled by a lack of public understanding of the distribution of skills , which we have highlighted in this and previous studies .

" For example , listening to many news stories in the media , one can easily get the idea that girls around the world are falling behind boys , in particular in countries known gender inequality .

" The reality is quite different in the many countries participating in Pisa , which many may find surprising . "

David Geary , Professor of Psychology at the University of Missouri , said : " As being stronger in STEM [ science , technology , engineering and mathematics ] subjects , the PISA data show that a greater percentage of girls have proportionally better reading achievement compared with mathematics achievement , with boys showing the opposite pattern .

" The tilt in skills influences later choice of college major and occupation so those who are better at language related skills than maths tend towards language - based professions , as law instead of computer science , women with very high maths skills .

" The sex differences we see in STEM industries today is related in part to this tilt . "
