The current study's goal was to investigate the connection between university students' stress levels and their academic achievement. Using a basic random sample procedure, a sample size of 200 people was drawn from the University of Haripur. Data from 100 male and 100 female university students were included in the sample. Student Stress Inventory (SSI), a tool used to gauge stress among college students, was utilized to gather data. The Grade Point Average (GPA) of each student served as a measure of their academic success. The study's results show a strong correlation between stress and university student's academic performance, and stress is negatively connected with academic performance among university students. In comparison to male pupils, female students performed better on the stress test. Academic success is inversely connected with stress. Because the current study was restricted to the university of Haripur and the sample size was also small, it was recommended that this study be conducted in the future with a more diverse population and a larger sample size. The results of the current study will contribute to a better understanding of how stress affects university students' academic performance.

This paper examines the comparative academic performances of male and female students at tertiary level education in Bangladesh. Using cross section data of 8,985 students from five private universities in Bangladesh located around Chittagong zone, the study finds that the average scores of female students are slightly higher than their male counterparts. Examining the final examination grades of 3,447 female and 5,538 male students, the paper observes the evidence of heteroskedastic partition in academic scores among the groups. Both the ordinary least-squares (OLS) and generalized leastsquares (GLS) approaches have been employed to check the validity of the results. Descriptive and inferential measures have been used to explain the factors affecting the students' academic performance. The results suggest a general improvement in the performance of the students over time. Interaction between age and gender has been examined to serve expository purpose. Empirical investigation lends support in favor of such interaction. The paper also finds the variation in academic scores with regard to the difficulty of subjects studied. Findings of the paper may be useful to explain the source of heterogeneity in labor market returns to education in Bangladesh examined by Asadullah (2006). Contribution/ Originality: This study is one of very few studies which have investigated the reasons behind the heterogeneity in returns to education. Our current research may be useful to explain why the estimates of returns to education for females, who in general outperform the males academically, are higher than those of males.

“…Fergusson and Horwood (1997) study of gender differences in educational achievement in the New Zealand birth cohort reported statistically significant gender differences in academic achievement. Igbudu (2015) conducted a study on the influence of gender on student academic achievement in government subjects in public high school schools in the Oredo Regional Government area of Edo State. All of these studies show that there is a significant gender difference in academic achievement, namely that women perform better than men.…”

The purposes of the study are to know the students' perceptions of reading objective among students, which have above and below the average score of the OECD countries, and to know the Indonesian'student achievement among other countries. The study uses a quantitative method as a research method, and to determine the position of Indonesian students, it used M-Plus and Winsteps program. PISA 2018 data which has been released are used for research development purposes. The data were taken from questionnaires who were answered by 15 th -year-students of 80 countries. The data consist of 612.004 international students and 12.098 Indonesian students. The results of the Analysis of Variance states that there was a significant difference (P <0,000) of students' perceptions of reading objectives among students in countries which have above and below the average score of the OECD. While based on the analysis of Rasch Model, the reliability of Indonesian students was 0.36 while international data 0.51. Although they both are low, the reliability of Indonesian students is lower. The study concludes that the most students' states both (upper and below group) "Disagree" if the purpose of reading is only to fulfill obligations, merely hobbies, and spend time. Afterwards, students state "Agree" to discuss books with others and obtain the required information.
