Neste artigo provemos informação sobre o menor desempenho das meninas comparado com os meninos de similares característica nas provas colombianas de saída do ensino secundário, que são requeridas para o acesso à Universidade. Usando a técnica de regressão quantílica encontra-se que há uma brecha significativa a favor dos meninos, que se incrementa ao longo da distribuição. A decomposição de Juhn-Murphy-Pierce, mostra que as características pessoais, familiares e escolares explicam uma porção pequena das brechas, enquanto que diferenças nos retornos jogam um papel importante. Adicionalmente, se mostra que a brecha observada difere significativamente de acordo à região; sugerindo que características específicas de cada região como por exemplo diferenças na cultura relacionadas com o rol da mulher podem estar influenciando o desempenho das meninas.
