ELI5: why do people say today's education system is suited well for girls over boys?

Iv heard multiple times (no particular sources just general talk from online articles and in person) that today's educational system favors girls. What is the basis for this and is there truth behind it? I know that in my highschool there were more girls than guys on honor roll, and when I went to college there was a higher percentage of females as opposed to males.

Girls generally mature faster neurologically (the female brain is more or less developed by 19-21 while the male brain may be as late as late 20's), girls are generally also more compliant and follow orders better (whether that's due to biology or social conditioning or some of both is up for debate).  Generally boys may tend to learn better through "active" learning techniques and competition than the current passive learning techniques used in institutions currently.
