The given bar charts compare the ratio of male and female students attending two different educational institutions in four regions globally, within the year of 2000.
Overall, the proportion of European students in both education levels outnumbered the rest of examined regions.
Concerning the first charts, as illustrated, there was a stark contrast between students in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa attending school.To be specific, almost 100% of European pupils in both genders went to secondary school, while those in Sub-Saharan Africa was around 5 times lower, at just above 20%. Meanwhile, the percentages of secondary students in Latin America and East Asia were fairly similar, at nearly 60%.
Regarding tertiary education, all of these regions witnessed a smaller figure in school attendance rates than their secondary ones. Students in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa followed the same contrast pattern as in lower education level. Students pursuing higher education in all continents except Europe accounted for below average figures, with the poorest access to education being in Sub-Saharan Africa. In terms of genders, female students were slightly higher than male, with 70% to 60%, relatively.Other regions, however, bucked the trend as male students outnumbered their female counterparts in school attendance.
