The bar graph provides information about how many men and women enrolled for full-timeand part-time further education in the UK during three time periods: 1970 to 1971, 1980 to1981, and 1990 to 1991.
[Overall, it is apparent that in all three periods, more individuals of both genders studied parttime rather than full-time. While, the number of women increased significantly in both fulltime and part-time education, men appeared to be less inclined towards part-time education,which witnessed a slight decrease over time.]
To begin with, the number of men in full-time education increased gradually from around 100 thousand in 1970-71 to approximately 250 thousand in 1990-91,whereas the number of men in part-time education remained roughly the same over thethree decades fluctuating from 100 thousand in 1970-71 to about 90 thousand in 1990-91 .
Conversely, women demonstrated a significant increase in both part-time and full-timeeducation. The number of female part-time students rose from around 750 thousand toroughly 1.1 million over the twenty-year period, while the number of full-time femalestudents increased gradually from around 50 thousand to just over 250 thousand by 1991.This increase in full-time female students was similar to the trend observed among malestudents.
