The provided bar chart compares the number of men and women who studied part-time or full-time in a specific college in the UK over a period of 20 years.
The most significant facts from the bar chart are that both sexes mostly engaged in part-time education over the whole period (20 years), and the number of males was highest in the initial years (1970-1971), while females continued in education, reaching the highest number of students over the 20 years (around 1,100 thousand). Notably, full-time education saw steady increases decade by decade for both genders.
It can be seen that the number of males primarily studied part-time, with 1 million in 1970. The following year, full-time education had the lowest number of men, accounting for around 150 thousand. After a decade, the number of males in part-time education saw a moderate decline to around 850 thousand. By 1981, the number of students in full-time education rose to approximately 170 thousand. In the last two years, there was a slight growth in both part-time and full-time education, reaching around 900 thousand (part-time) and 220 thousand (full-time).
Looking at the details for females, there were increases in both full-time and part-time education every 10 years. In the first years, the figures stood at around 780 thousand (part-time) and 100 thousand (full-time), with the lowest numbers in both categories.Following over years,part-time and full-time educations witnessed steady rises,accounting for around 810 thousands, 210 thousands (1980-1981), 1150 thousand and 230 thousands(1990-1991) respectively.
