Girls completing primary schooling in Cote d'Ivoire are less likely to go to secondary schools because of inferior performance in the examination used to ration access. The gender gap in educational achievement varies with household economic status, with poverty inhibiting girls' performance more than boys'. Female students from poorer households spend less time in school than their male counterparts and allocate more time in housework. Reduced time in school has a negative effect on examination performance and hence time allocation explains much of the gender gap in educational achievement.
