Editor's note: I believe many parents have heard such a sentence: primary school and junior high school are the world of female students, and when they go to high school, female students will not be able to do it, and high school and science are still the field of male students. But on the other hand, more and more studies and data show that there are more and more female top students! And there is no obvious difference in the proportion of male and female top students and the fields they are good at.
However, although there is no distinction between male and female, male and female students do have different learning methods and skills! Fu Jen International School has been deeply involved in high school education for many years, with rich educational experience and experience, let's take a look at the different "top student notes" of boys and girls through this school!
Singapore Fu Jen International School Co-ed and Male and Female Top Girls in the Science Arena
Chinese students who choose to study abroad in high school and want to be admitted to a better university, they will basically choose to study science and engineering. The reason is actually quite simple. Relatively speaking, Chinese high school students have a solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but English is generally weak.
In the limited three or two years, if you can learn mathematics, physics and chemistry courses well, and then improve your English to IELTS 6.5, you will meet the most general admission requirements of overseas universities, which is already a remarkable achievement for many children.
In such a basic English background, science and engineering majors or other subjects that do not require so much English have become easier for Chinese children to achieve overseas education goals.
Judging from the results of Furen School's admission, there is no obvious difference in the proportion of male and female students in this science track. However, male and female students do show different characteristics in learning.
2023 Furen Admission Results Female Scholars: The Power of Interest Drives First of all, let's look at female students, who are more likely to achieve better English scores. In the case of Furen's 2023 graduates, among those with an IELTS score of 7.0 and above, girls are 1.4 times higher than boys. It may be said that girls are born with a language advantage, but the more concrete manifestation is that girls are more interested in language learning. Some of them have opened up a broader platform with the help of language, while others choose to continue to explore based on their love.

Principal Li Wei still remembers that about 10 years ago, a girl came to her and said that she thought GP (General Paper) was so interesting, and through GP, she could get in touch with the world that she could not experience in China! GP is not a language subject, but it needs to be studied in English. The girl, who was attracted to her GP, later gave up her admission to a local university in Singapore and went to the UK to study neuroscience.
Another female student, a graduate in 2023, has an IELTS score of 7.5, and she received an admission letter from the University of Hong Kong Chinese some time ago for a major in linguistics. Frankly, Chinese University of Hong Kong was not the first choice of Furen outstanding students, but the girl immediately accepted it! Because of the funny and vivid teaching methods of her high school English teacher, she has long been interested in historical linguistics, and it has always been her dream to continue to study linguistics.
So, what seems to be a question of language superiority is actually a question of interest-oriented learning drive.

Male Scholars: The Advantage of Reason
In their studies, male students have more rational considerations, and they show a strong sense of purpose. Those male students who seem to be relaxed and have nothing to worry about before the big exam, in fact, have a clear grasp of their own learning - after rationally analyzing the syllabus and their own learning situation, their state in the preparation for the exam seems more calm.
More than 10 years ago, there was a male student from Furen who was admitted to a national university, and according to the old tradition of the school, they would return to Furen to share their experience in preparing for the exam. The boy's words made a deep impression. He said: "Some classmates say that studying hard is for parents and teachers, but for me it is neither. I study for myself, and I can't spend my youth in Singapore for nothing. This clear understanding and strong internal drive allowed the boy to successfully go to the best university in the city.

Compared to boys, girls always seem to have more concerns – more sensitive to the eyes and expectations of others. However, such sensitivity also gives them more motivation, and on weekdays, the girls' excellent and stable grades always make parents worry less.
I remember one year, in Furen's mock exam, only two of the top 20 results were boys! Are female school bullies so strong? Looking at such a significant poor grade, Principal Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion - otherwise change Furen to "Furen Girls' High School"?
As a result, this "imagination" was denied by the female school bullies on the spot - is the student competition without the participation of boys a bit boring?
Furen Experimental Class
As mentioned earlier, there were only two male students in the top 20, but in fact, that year, the ratio of men and women who were actually admitted to NUS and NTU was 1:1.
Regarding this result, Principal Li Wei once had a discussion with the children and found that the mentality of boys and girls before the big exam is very different. The boys said that after reading the syllabus and looking at the usual study situation, they felt that they had a bottom, so they should usually eat, play, and do not delay anything. The girls said that we didn't know how hard we had to work to get into the national university, so we had to study hard. And in the end, perhaps it is this relatively relaxed and grinning mentality that makes the boys perform better on the spot in the big exam.
The daily state of male and female top students
Finally, let's talk about the study and life status of female and male students. In comparison, in the Furen campus, boys are very interested in having fun, such as basketball club, football club, badminton club, hiking club, and so on. and media clubs, dance clubs, music clubs, publishing houses, ...... Most of these societies are girls. Usually, girls also like to dress up beautifully, and a group of girls wearing school uniforms to go out has become a beautiful scenery on Orchard Road.

Male and female top students: each has its own strengths and shines together
Generally speaking, boys have the temperament of boys, and girls have the characteristics of girls, these are the lights of this world, and the world is more colorful because of these differences.
But Principal Li Wei still often sighs: If you are destined to have only one child, if you have a choice, you still hope that Ta is a girl. If you ask the girls who were admitted to Oxbridge why they chose to stay at the national university, the girls will say that the university is not bad! Tuition fees in the UK are so high, why add so much financial burden to parents? Such considerate girls always make people feel more warmth in the world.
