Sample Answer:

The two bar charts demonstrate the proportions of boys and girls in two broad categories of education in four different regions of the world.

In general, it is apparent that there are more girls than boys in either secondary or higher education across all the four areas, with two exceptions.

In secondary education, Europe has by far the highest percentages of boy and girl students – 95% and 100%, respectively – which are 9 and 5 times that of their peers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The situations in Latin America and East Asia are comparable – between 40% and 50% for both genders. While the former has slightly more girls than boys, the reverse is true for the latter.

Turning to higher education, although Europe still takes the leading position, the percentages among the four regions are quite close to each other. Whereas Europe beats Sub-Saharan Africa by threefold (45% to 15%) in terms of female percentage, there are always a fractionally larger proportion of students, regardless of their gender, in Latin America than in East Asia.

In summary, the number of students tends to shrink dramatically when they are entering higher education. And it seems that developed countries have a significantly higher percentage of male and female students than many developing ones.
