| 總結: | This study aims to explore the gender difference in mathematics achievement of the
graduates of BRAC schools. Data generated in the numeracy section of the study on
assessment of basic competencies of the graduates of BRAC schools of 1997 were
analysed for this purpose. Two types of BRAC schools, viz., NFPE and BEOC, were
considered in this study. Both bi-variate and multivariate approach were used to analyse
the data. The findings of this study clearly showed that achievement in mathematics is
significantly lower among girls than boys in BRAC schoQls (p<O.OOl). The gender
variation was observed in both types of schools, however, the graduates of BEOC are
more likely to do better in the test than the graduates of NFPE. Some suggestions were
also made to improve the situation towards gender equity in mathematics learning in
BRAC schools.
