The Percentage of Students Proficient in a Foreign Language

The bar chart shows the percentage of students proficient in a foreign language in six countries – China, Romania, Thailand, India, Russia, and Vietnam.

Among those nations, India is the country having the highest percentage of students able to communicate in a language other than their mother tongue, while Romania come as the second highest. The third rank is of Vietnam followed by Russia, Thailand, and China respectively.

In most of the nations, the percentage of female students having skill in using a foreign language outnumbers that of the males, though the difference is not significant. The countries having broad gap between the ratio of female and male are Romania and China; in Romania, the female is more than 63%, whereas the male is only 42%; in China, the female is more than 28%, whilst the latter is only slightly above 14%.

However, the only exception is Thailand where the quantity of males able to use a foreign language is higher than that of females.
