Overall, it is clear that developed countries had a higher number of girls in all levels of education compared to developing countries.

Looking at the information in more details, in primary education, the number of females per 100 males in developing countries rose from 83 in 1990 to 87 in 1998. In contrast, developed countries were much closer to the target line, with 95 girls in 1990 and 96 girls in 1998. For secondary education, devwloping nations showed an improvement from 72 to 82 girls per 100 boys. meanwhile, developed countries almost reached the target, increasing slightly. Finally, in tertiary education, the biggest changes can be seen. In developing countries, the figure was very low at only 66 in 1990, but it grew to 75 in 1998. strikingly, developed countries exceeded the target line in 1990 with 105 girls per 100 boys, and this number went up further to 112 in 1998, which shows that more girls than boys got into universities.
