And by achievement gap, I mean lifetime achievement gap.

Here women do better at high school and more women attend university but women still get paid less. Internal assessment (simulate to maintaining GPA) favours girls as they tend to be more keen on pleasing the teacher, more disciplined and have better executive function. Somehow though that doesn't make them top paid explorers.
