Bias in favour of girls occurs in all subjects and all years (2007 to 2016)

This is astounding. But, not unexpected.

This is not conclusive because it compares teacher assessment to test results. This same study can be used by feminists to claimed that tests are biased against girls and more research is needed to figure out how to write tests that will help girls score better.

They should remove the identity of test papers.

I think teachers also discriminate by name. From something I read years ago.
