may be a tendency for younger students to be more positive compared to
the older

question techniques in the surveys posed to students in lower form level’s differs from
those used for higher form levels.
There are differences in performance across groups of student (see Table 2.12 below).
Socioeconomic status has a high impact on the general performance – stronger socio-
economic background is associated with better results. Ethnic groups score lower
compared to Danish students. Boys perform better than girls in maths (PISA test and
school leaving examination). However, the performance of girls is higher when it
comes to reading and writing and IT (PISA,
school leaving examination, Pirls, ICILS).
Compared to students in the Folkeskole, students in private schools generally perform
better at the school leaving examination. Moreover, students from large schools show
better performance compared to students from small schools. However,
it is uncertain
whether the difference is due to differences in the students’ socioeconomic back-
ground.
