The bar chart depicts the different sectors of education with the enrolment figures of girls per 100 boys in the year 1990 and 1998 respectively. It was lucid that the developed countries has outperformed the developing countries in all three modes of education, and also easily achieving the target in tertiary education sector.
Categorically speaking, the figures for developed countries had steadily increased from primary to tertiary crossing the target 5 times and around 0.12 percent per 100 boys, in the year 1990 and 1998 respectively. With primary education being the lowest roughly 5 or 4 less than 100 in both the years correspondingly. Moreover, secondary education was approximately close to 100 in both years.
The data for developing countries suggest that only in case of primary sector, they were able to cross above the 80 limit per 100 boys, while in case of secondary education, only in 1998 the figures climbed just over 80, with eight less than eighty in 1990. On the other hand, the tertiary was the worst among all with exactly 3 quarters in 1998 and less than three quarters in the year 1990.
Overall, the general trend suggests that only developed nations were able to achieve the target, while developing countries had not seen a good rise in any of the sectors and remained under the target.
