Graph # 13 – Bar graph

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The chart below shows the number of men and women in further education in Britain in three periods and whether they were studying fulltime or part-time.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

The given bar chart is an illustration of the number of male and female students in Britain, enrolled in full-time or part-time academic programs. The information is spread over a three decade period, from 1970 to 1990. It is evident from the trend that full time education was favoured much more by both the sexes.

In the 1970s, around 1000 men were recorded as studying full time, the females on the other hand were less by 300. The next decade though saw a rise in the female numbers, reaching 800, and the male enrolment dropped down, but also to 800. Meanwhile the number of males and females studying part time had increased. Where in 1970, around 100 males and 40 females studied part time, in 1980 the numbers were approximately 150 and 190 respectively.

The last decade in the graph marks a rise for all categories. Male numbers for full time and part time education rose to 880 and 200 respectively. The female enrolment in full time also increased dramatically further this decade and stood at 1100, whereas the part time data recorded was the same as for the males.

Overall, an ascending trend is seen in females for both full and part time education enrolment.
