Why should boys have all the fun?” goes the popular punchline from an advertisement. In real life, at least as far as results of CBSE,
ICSE or state board HSC and SSC are concerned, it is the girls having all the fun.
On Thursday, the story was repeated when the girls brigade again trounced the boys army in results of state board Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination. Overall, the pass percentage among girls was 84.80 among regular candidates while for boys it was a shade lower at 83.71. The story was same across all divisions. The difference is more pronounced among toppers.
“The last time a boy topped the charts in Nagpur division was in 2002 when Prajwal Mahatme emerged as topper after a huge controversy. A boy from Satara, Gaurav Kulkarni topped the state SSC list last year,” divisional board secretary of Nagpur division Shriram Chavan told TOI.
“The girls are sincere and hardworking whereas boys possess are more prone to distractions and rebelling against teachers. The girls also regularly do their homework while most boys are irregular and do not concentrate on studies,” Somalwar Ramdaspeth School principal Chintamani Rane told TOI.
