The two bar graphs delineate the proportion of school-aged and college-aged students who were enrolled in two distinct educational institutions across four different regions of both genders in the year 2000.
Overall, it is noticeable that Europe had the highest proportion of students with access to both levels of education across genders, while these data for Sub-Saharan Africa had the lowest rates over the period of time.
Regarding students at secondary education, the percentage of school-aged female students in Europe occupied nearly 100%, 2% higher than that of male students. In Latin America, females also outnumbered males, with females accounting for roughly 60% and males reaching approximately 50%. Conversely, Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia had higher male attendance rates in comparison with females, with 60% male learners in East Asia, nearly double at this figure for Sub-Saharan Africa. Meanwhile, the female attendance rates in these regions stood at 20% and 35%, respectively.
In terms of tertiary education, Europe was the only region where female enrollment surpassed that of males, at about 70% compared to 60%. In contrast, Sub-Saharan Africa showed an alarming low participation, with the male figure barely exceeding 5%, while the female rates were nearly negligible. Besides that, Latin America and East Asia experienced a marginal male advantage, with males outnumbering females by around 5%-10%.
