Three lesson plans are proposed for elementary, lower secondary and upper secondary education.
Yet for the richest in the country, upper secondary school is almost universal.
Research indicates that as of 2004, only 22.2% and 4.7% of rural girls were able to proceed to lower and upper secondary school, respectively.
Data on the proportion of persons aged 25-64 who have completed upper secondary education show that the United States, with 86 percent, ranks highest among 26 industrial countries.
Upper secondary curricula should provide a balance between vocational and technical skills, including IT, and transferable skills such as confidence and communication which are indispensable for the work place.
Upper secondary curricula should provide a balance between vocational and technical skills, including IT, and transferable skills such as confidence and communication which translate easily to the work place.
However, challenges remain at the upper secondary level, where there are enough school places for just 47% of girls and 49% of boys of upper secondary school age to enrol, according to the Digest.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region in which the gender disparities against girls are getting worse at the upper secondary level, with 8 million boys enrolled compared to only 6 million girls, according to the Digest.
Yet in terms of enrolment, sub-Saharan Africa has made the greatest gains of all regions, with gross enrolment ratios rising from 28% to 43% for lower secondary and from 20% to 27% for upper secondary education between 1999 and 2009.
If educators continue to do that then we will find that drop-outs will begin to increase at this level as students recognize the impossibility of their life chances at university and the increasing irrelevance of what they are doing at upper secondary schools.
This proportion rises to 49% and 44% respectively for upper and lower secondary education.
