Girls in America show more mastery in technology and engineering subjects than their boy classmates, says a new report. The information comes from national education data released Tuesday. The findings were part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP. The NAEP measures what a representative sample of students across the U.S. know and can do in several subjects. It is also known as The Nation’s Report Card. It is only the second time in the NAEP’s 50-year history that it tested students’ abilities in technology and engineering. The NAEP’s Technology and Engineering Literacy test, or TEL, was first given in 2014. It asks students to solve real-world technology and engineering problems.
