Regarding primary and secondary education, developed countries had already achieved, or were very close to achieving, gender quality. In primary education, the ratio stood at 95 in 1990 and rose slightly to 96 by 1998.A similar trend was observed in secondary education, where the ratio increased from 98 to 99 over the same period. Meanwhile, developing countries were considerably further from the target. Their primary enrolment rose from 83 to 87, and their secondary education figures showed a more noticeable increase, moving from 72 in 1990 to 82 in 1998. In contrast, developing nations remained much further from the target. Their primary enrolment ratio grew modestly from 83 to 87, whereas secondary education recorded a more significant improvement, climbing from 72 in 1990 to 82 in 1998.For tertiary education, developed countries consistently dominated the vast range, starting at 105 in 1990 and reaching the highest figure on the chart at 112 in 1998. Conversely, the tertiary enrolment in developing countries had the lowest ratios overall, with only 66 girls per 100 boys in 1990.
