(9) Writing Task 1 : Number of girls enrolled in school



The chart below shows the number of girls per 100 boys enrolled in different levels of school education.

Write a short report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

You should write at least 150 words.

 


The chart depicts the number of girls per 100 boys enrolled in different levels of education. The data was taken from both developing and developed countries at the year 1990 and 1998. It is evident from the chart that girls in developed countries have easier access to education than their peers in developing countries, and that girls in developing countries are less likely to finish their compulsory education.

In 1990, the number of girls per 100 boys in developed countries outnumbered that in developing countries. This happened in all level of education. In primary education, these figures were not too far between. However, moving to the higher levels of education, this distance grew further. The number of girls per 100 boys in developed countries showed steady increase as that in developing countries gradually fell. 

Similar trend was repeated in 1998, although for both countries, there was a slight rise in the number of female student in all educational stages. One noticeable thing is although overall the number of boys topped the girls’, this was not the case for tertiary education in developed countries. Both in the year 1990 and 1998, more girls were enrolled in school than boys.

Wordcount: 198
