The data presented delineates the variation in popularity of higher education and studying fully or partly in Britain over 3 periods between 2 genders. Overall, full-time education always prevailed as the most favorable and, over the latter half of the century, females rose sharply to become the most dominant in the field.
In the early 1970s, male students prevailed in both full-time and part-time schooling with a difference of almost 20%, though by 1990/91, full-time students fell gradually from 1,000,000 to 900,000. On the other hand, full-time students of the opposite sex skyrocketed from around 700 to well over 1,000 over the 2-decade period. Similarly, part-time students of both sexes followed an upward trajectory, both rising moderately to 200,000.
Over the 10 years from 1970, it can be plainly seen that both gendered full-time students reached around 750,000; however, whereas male students faced a steady decline, their female counterparts rose sharply. Furthermore, during this period, part-time students faced a surge.
