The data used is school achievement by students taking externally assessed accounting standards in their final year at New Zealand secondary schools, and covers the period 2004 to 2008. The paper concludes that the interaction of gender and school decile have a significant impact on achievement rates for Maori, Pacific Island and Asian girls relative to Maori, Pacific Island and Asian boys in low decile schools. A secondary contribution of this paper is to demonstrate that comparing the achievement of gender or socioeconomic status groups in isolation is insufficient when examining academic performance and evaluating subject curriculum. Interactions between variables need to be considered, whether they be gender and decile as this paper examines, or other variables not examined within this paper.展开更多
