Zusammenfassung:	These are the empirical issues addressed in this article, on the basis of our study of learning gains in English and math among 4948 form 1 and form 2 pupils: What is the magnitude of the school's overall influence on learning gains? How much do youths really learn at the junior-secondary level? Does the influence of time in school on learning gains differ for girls relative to boys? Does this effect vary between language and math achievement? In addition ... do teacher characteristics and pedagogical practices help to explain learning gains? Do these more specific factors operate differently on girls, which, thus, would help to explain their advantage in language achievement? (DIPF/Text uebernommen).
