The two bar charts illustrate the proportion of males and females enrolled in secondary and higher education in four different regions of the world –Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and East Asia — in the year 2000. The units are measured in percentages.
The Europeans, in general, topped the chart with the percentages of students who are at suitable ages for secondary schools, colleges and universities. In contrast, the shares for Sub-Saharan Africans indicates the lowest degree in both graphs.
Looking more closely to the given diagram, in secondary education, there was a huge disparity between the shares of Europeans and the Sub-Saharan Africans men and women. Almost all boys and girls in Europe were enrolled, reaching close to 100%. By comparison, in Sub-Saharan Africa, attending to schools considerably lower, with about 30% of boys and 20% of girls enrollment. The figure for Latin America and East Asia showed moderate figures: in Latin America, roughly 50% of boys and 60% of girls were in secondary school, while the East Asia, is around 60% of boys and slightly fewer girls were enrolled.
For higher education, Europe again led with 60% of males and an ever higher 70% of females attendance for colleges and universities. The percentage of Latin American students had far lower figures, with around 20% of men and slightly less for women. East Asia recorded only about 10% for both genders. Sub-Saharan Africa had the lowest participation, with fewer than 5% of males and almost negligible numbers of females in higher education.
