Men constituted the highest numbers of part-time educators in 1970/71, with approximately 100 thousand males. Whereas, women in 1990/91 were 1100 thousand postgraduate educators in the equivalent figure, which was more than men with a 200 thousand difference. The numbers of males and females who did part-time education were the same in 1980/81. 1980/81 witnessed a rise in numbers of women who did full-time education than men (200 thousand – 100 thousand, respectively). In 1970/71, full-time female learners were half-men learners, which accounted for 100 thousand.

The male part-time postgraduate educators’ figure showed a minor fluctuation throughout the given period, with a million men in 1970/71 to a roughly 800 thousand in 1980/80, and finally 900 thousand in 1980/81. In contrast to these part-time women, educators increased exponentially to one million and 100 thousand women. Full-time men and women learners did not surpass 200 thousand by the end of the period.
