Introduction

The provided bar chart illustrates the ratio of female to male students, represented as the number of girls per 100 boys, at various stages of schooling.

Overview

At a glance, it is clear that the number of girls in comparison to boys fluctuates across the different levels of education. Moreover, there is a noticeable trend of increasing female enrolment from primary to tertiary education, with a slight dip at the secondary level.

Focusing on the details, in primary education, the number of girls for every 100 boys is just below 100, suggesting almost equal enrolment. However, in secondary education, there is a slight decrease in the number of girls, with the ratio falling to approximately 90 girls for every 100 boys.

Body 2

Conversely, the number of girls per 100 boys in tertiary education is significantly higher than the other levels. The ratio rises dramatically to around 120 girls for every 100 boys, indicating a higher proportion of females at this stage of education. This data suggests an interesting shift in gender dynamics as students progress through their educational journey.
