Gender Gap in UAE Education [More Girls]
Emirati boys are posting lower examination scores and dropping out of high school at a much greater rate than Emirati girls, newly released research shows. The study found that although 70 per cent of Emirati girls enrol at university after high school, the figure for boys is only 27 per cent. In 2007, only five per cent of high school-aged girls failed their final examinations. The rate among boys was twice as high.
