The graph provides information about the number of students enrolled on the various courses in China over four years. Overall, the clearest pattern is an overall rise in almost all courses enrolled in, except for a slight fall in literacy courses.
Specifically, literacy courses showed a different pattern: a drop from 2008 to 2010, reaching their lowest point, and increased slightly in 2012. The number of postgraduates rose slowly from about one million to nearly two million, showing only a modest increase over the period. In contrast, online training started at a higher level, around 2.5 million, and increased more rapidly, reaching about 4 million by the end of the period. The biggest increase was in the group of undergraduate students, rising by five million students: from 18 million to 23 million, which indicates a strong and consistent upward trend in this category.
In conclusion, the graph reveals overall growth in the education of students in China. Despite the high growth in undergraduates, other types of courses also gradually gained more interest and showed steady increases in participation over the years.
