From: A scalable goal-setting intervention closes both the gender and ethnic minority achievement gap
Retention rate after the first academic year by gender, ethnicity and cohort.
(a) While the three pre-intervention control cohorts show a consistent gender gap, this gap closes almost completely in the intervention cohort, despite the participation of all students in the intervention cohort. (b) While the ethnic minority gap seems to widen, rather than close, in the control cohorts, in the intervention cohort the ethnicity gap closes significantly. (c) The combination of gender and ethnicity shows that both gaps diminish in the intervention cohort, while the largest gain in retention is evident in the male ethnic minorities.
