The graph below shows the rate of attendance for primary and secondary
schools for boys and girls across the world.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where necessary.
The provided graph gives us information about school attendance in various
countries of the world of varying levels of development. Children and
teenagers are split between genders and their level of education and the cited
data was recorded between the years 2000 and 2004.
First of all, we can observe a massive difference between countries in what
constitutes secondary school enrolment. Industrialized countries record a rate
of at least 90% enrolment for both boys and girls, but developing as well as the
least developed countries have a ratio of under 50% in both cases. Thusly, we
see a difference of about 40%, which is alarmingly high.
In the case of primary schools, the given enrolment ratios are more closely
linked together. Even the least developed countries only record an overall low
of 65% enrolment for girls, which is a good statistic compared to the abysmal
26% enrolment in secondary education. Developing countries are also
statistically closer to industrialized countries in primary school attendance, the
difference floating around 10%.
All in all, we can affirm that children living in poorer countries are indeed at
risk of abandoning school and never pursuing their education any further. The
most surprising fact of all is that girls and boys have similar enrolment rates –
girls were never lower by more than 8%, so education is spread fairly evenly by
gender.
