CEDAW/C/1997/3/Add.3 English Page 17 25. Morocco's report describes the high rate of illiteracy of its population: 77.9 per cent of its women aged 10 years and older in 1982 were unable to read or write. This percentage increases with age and in the rural areas. The figures quoted in the World Education Report 1995 show that in 1995 there was an increase over 1980 in the number of illiterate adults and women and consequently a step backwards in women's and girls' education. There was an increase in enrolment at the primary level between 1976 and 1986 whereas between 1980 and 1982 the World Education Report 1995 notes a substantial decrease. According to Morocco's report, the secondary education of girls has made progress since 1980. This information is confirmed by the figures cited above. The report admits the low enrolment of girls in higher education but notes an increase in the number of girls enrolled in scientific and technical subjects. Philippines Table 14.
