The two bar graphs delineates the female and male participation at secondary and higher education levels, expressed as percentages across four different regions in the year 2000.
Overall, there was a near-universal attendance in Europe, whereas access to education was not mandatory for students in Sub-Sahara Africa. Additionally, males were more inclined to get access to educational opportunities than females in most regions.
Concerning secondary education, almost every European student, regardless of gender, received secondary education, with precisely 100% of school-aged girls and nearly 99% of school-aged boys. Furthermore, Latin America and East Asia had comparable figures, whereas higher female enrollment in the former was documented, reaching roughly 60% compared to around 50% of boys. Meanwhile, the participation in sub-Saraha Africa was relatively moderate, with school boys pursuing secondary education reaching 30%, being slightly higher 10% than their female counterparts.
In terms of tertiary education, European students by far dominated. Notably, female advantage was found in Europe, with 70% of female enrolment rates, being higher 10% than their male counterparts , followed distantly by Latin American students, with only approximately 15% and 20%, respectively. Moreover, East Asia showed relatively similar figures for both groups, reaching roughly 10% participation. Finally, pursuing higher education was optional for students in Sub-Sahara, with male attendance remaining low and female participation falling to below 1%, highlighting a stark gender disparity.
