It is also interesting that in Caulfield Grammar, most of the year twelves also choose to do subjects like Accounting and Commerce in University.]]> 2017-03-16 11:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160491478 sophiebahana https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160493059 2017-03-16 12:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160493059 sophiebahana https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160493258 2017-03-16 12:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160493258 sophiebahana https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160493617 The percentages of the different ethnic backgrounds have not changed very much from 2005-2015. There has been a slight decrease of Europeans and an increase of Asians (especially Southern/Central Asia) and Sub-Saharan Africans.]]> 2017-03-16 12:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160493617 sophiebahana https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160494782 2017-03-16 12:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160494782 sophiebahana https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160495005 As expected, children with non-English parents are more inclined to enroll into Society and Environment as they have the access to both an English and non-English view of the world around them. It is also not surprising to see that LOTE is taken up by students with non-English parents as they are probably have their mother's tongue. ]]> 2017-03-16 12:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160495005 sophiebahana https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160497330 2017-03-16 12:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160497330 sophiebahana https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160497685 It can be observed that males tend to favour subjects like maths, physical education and technology whereas females dominate fields in Society/Environment, Arts and English.

Most of the richest countries were at a 50 or beyond with the percentage of females whereas the poorest countries were considerably less than 50 except for Madagascar. 

Madagascar is under a semi-presidential representative democratic republic and they have made the effort to address gender equality in their constitution. 

In the Congo (the country with the lowest percentage in the top 10 poorest), there are certain laws in the country that state that women must always get permission from the husbands to open a bank account, accept a job, etc. The husband always owns anything their wives have. 

Dictatorship and the percentage of women doesn't seem to have a consistent relationship or pattern. Cuba is under dictatorship and still has 61% of women which is very high whereas Eritrea only has a quarter.

Feminism has a strong impact on the percentage of women enrolled. The top 10 had a percentage of 52% or higher. These countries also tend to be richer and more developed, thus allowing the breadth of society to be educated and more progressive in its views on gender equality. ]]> 2017-03-16 12:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiebahana/uzdrj5ysrvj8/wish/160506525
