The chart illustrates the distribution of male and female students across six subject areas, including social sciences, engineering, health, humanities, science and mathematics, and agriculture in 2013.
Overall, social-related subjects attracted far more female students than male students, while the reverse was true for science courses. In addition, agriculture had the lowest overall student numbers, with nearly equal representation from both genders.
Social sciences attracted the highest number of students overall (7000), with a significantly higher male participation (4000) compared to female participation (3000). Humanities also showed a preference among women by reaching approximately 2000 students, exceeding the number of male learners which was around 1000. Similarly, 1500 female students in the health major outnumbered their 500 male counterparts, resulting in a total of 2000 students. Agriculture,on the other hand, recorded the lowest enrollment figures, with roughly 100 students of each group of gender, totaling approximately 200 students.
In contrast, engineering displayed a marked difference in gender distribution, with over 2000 male students versus fewer than their 1000 female counterparts, totaling approximately 3000 students. Science and mathematics, however, attracted a little interest of total of 2000 students with roughly double the number of male students (over 1000) than female students (500).
