The graphs provide information about the percentage of school-aged girls and boys who attended secondary school and higher education institutions, such as colleges and universities, in four regions of the world in the year 2000.
The most noticeable feature is that in both graphs, the largest number of students is found in Europe. In the graphs, the percentage of secondary school students is higher than that of higher education students. Europe’s secondary school enrollment rate is nearly 100%, which is the highest among all regions. Conversely, Sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest number of students in both categories compared to the other regions.
In the first graph, the number of male and female students in Europe and East Asia is equal. However, in Latin America, the number of female students exceeds that of male students by 10%, whereas in Sub-Saharan Africa, the number of females is significantly lower than that of males.
In the second graph, the number of males in East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa surpasses that of females by 2%. In Latin America, the enrollment of male students in higher education exceeds that of female students by approximately 5%.
