Schools: equality and inequalities around the world

"For women to have the opportunity to do productive work the man must share with her the unproductive work "

Higher education, irresistible rise of girls:

Around the world, at the dawn of the 21st century, girls equaled boys in access to higher education. This world average rate was 18% in 1999, in the rate observed in France at the end of the 1970s, when people in France were beginning to speak of mass higher education. In 2009, girls exceeded boys: 28% against 26%, or more than a quarter of a planetary generation.

There is a difference between countries in this matter , so we can compare them let's started with ;

Sub-saharan African:

The only major region in the world where boys' access to university is still higher than that of girls is sub-Saharan Africa. The low rate of access (8% for boys and 5% for girls) and the old male domination are added as features of underdevelopment to the structural poverty of this region. Nevertheless, out of the twenty-one countries in this region, three experienced female supremacy in 2009: Cape Verde, Mauritius, Namibia. And for the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, the annual evolution was made at a rate almost as sustained among girls (4.9%) as among boys (5.5%).

The Arab countries:

In the Arab countries, it is almost equal (23% for boys and 22% for girls). In eight countries out of thirteen, girls prevail: Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates. It is still the opposite in Bahrain, Djibouti, Mauritania, Morocco and Yemen. In all Arab countries, the annual growth rate was higher for girls (3.2% against 0.1% for boys)

The latin America:

In Latin America, another region of the world stigmatized for its machismo, girls surpassed boys in twenty-three out of twenty-eight countries and equaled them in Mexico and Guatemala. Three countries are exceptions: Bolivia, Guyana and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Growth between 1999 and 2009 is to the benefit of girls (8.29% annually against 7.19%). In both Brazil and Argentina, girls equaled boys in 1980 and overtook them in 1985.

South and West Asia:

South and West Asia remains under male domination, in five countries out of six, Iran making a remarkable exception (38% of female students against 35% of male students). But, if the general level is low in 2009, the growth rates are strong and favorable to women (6.4% against 5.196).

In east Asia and the Pacific:

In East Asia and the Pacific, girls have overtaken boys (28% against 27%) and prevail in eight out of fourteen countries (Australia, Brunei Darassalam, China, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand ). They equal them in Indonesia. Boys continue to lead in Timor, Korea, Macau and Japan. 

 Eastern Europe:

Eastern Europe has long been concerned with the training of women. In Hungary, women have equaled men since 1980 and in Poland since 1975. But the development continues, with very high rates in favor of women (12.7 96 against 9.6%).

The countries of western:

In the countries of Western Europe and in North America female supremacy is now a universally established fact, with very high rates which tend towards 100% for girls. The case of the United States is significant: girls have overtaken boys since 1980; their access rate in 2009 was 100%. That of boys being only 69%.
