The bar chart illustrates the number of males and females studying full-time or part-time further education in Britain in three different periods.
Overall, the number of men’s enrollment in part-time education in the first two periods was higher than that of women; however, the figure for women surpassed men in the third one. Moreover, the quantity of part-time education participants consistently exceeded that of full-time education.
In detail, there were about 1000 male students in part-time education, compared to about 600 of female students in 1970/71. However, in the next 10 years, the number of men decreased by around 200 students, while there was an increase to just under 800 in the number of women in part-time education. In the final examined period, the figures for male and female students in part-time education were over 800 and approximately 1000, respectively.
Referring to full-time education, whilst males were estimated to be under 100 in 1970/71, the number of females were even lower, at about 50. In 1980/81, there was a growth in both genders, but both still did not reach 200 students. Subsequently, the number of men and women in full-time education were roughly the same, at approximately 200 students.
