Higher Education Practice Exam
The number of higher education enrollees which was 12,000,000 in 1960 grew to 88,000,000 in 1997.
Particularly the rate of increase in developing countries is much more remarkable than in developed
countries: in Africa - a 24-fold increase, a 16-fold increase in Latin America and an 11-fold increase in
Asia and Pacific. However, this did not necessarily alleviate gaps among regions, between male and
female, and among ethnic groups. Improvement regarding the male-female gap can now be seen in
many regions, but the countries of West Africa are notable for their remaining gap.
