It may be to true of the UK system, but certainly not of the US' system. Study after study in the US shows that girls become more and more introverted as school continues for them. From an early age, they are picked less often because teachers want to quiet the boys who are making "oo oo" noises and swinging their hands around in the air. It becomes habitual for the girls to simply sit quiety and not ever bother trying to out perform the boys ... and these habits last well into high school.
