Keywords: Academic Achievement; Gender Differences; English; Mathematics; Secondary School Students. English and Mathematics have become a substantial and integral part of organised society. There is a close interaction between English and Mathematics and the economic, social, political and educational issue of the society, Therefore, there is hardly any need to justify the place of English and mathematics in a scheme of general education for school children. There is an indispensable relationship between these two subjects and also determines the extent and length of educational development of any community, society and country as a whole. There is much discussion about the relationship between gender and achievement in English and Mathematics education in these days. The concern has arisen because less number of females enters the academic and professional areas related to English and Mathematics. Here it would appropriate to understand the word “Gender”. It is the word that is inclusive of both boys and girls on the basis of social justice and mutual respect. 1 Department of Education, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, U.P.
