The bar chart provides information on the ratio of female students compared to 100 male students, attending different stages of school education.
Overall, it is evident that with respect to developed countries the number of females in all three different levels of education is significantly higher than the respective percentage in developing countries.
Looking at the graph in more detail, it becomes clear that with respect to developing countries the percentage of girls enrolled in different stages of school has increased dramatically from 1990 to 1998. In particular, the most important change has occurred in secondary education, where the figure of female students has risen by ten percent (from 72 to 82 percent). Despite this increase, the percentage of girls has not managed to cross the green target line set at around 100 percent at any school level.
In contrast, with respect to developed countries, figures have not changed that much in terms of primary and secondary education. However, there has been a significant increase in tertiary education, where the percentage of girls has rocketed at 112 percent by the end of 1998.
