Starting with the teenagers’ group, 12% of the male students were studying part-time and 8% in full-time, while the figures for females were 17% and 7% relatively. In the age group of 20-24, whopping 40% of the male students were studying in part-time education which is 2% less than that of female students, while 12% of the males exposed themselves in full-time education with 1% negative difference as opposed to the females.
When it comes to the 25-29 age group, this was the group in which the figures appeared to be quite close. Almost 8% of the students in both genders took part-time and full-time education, except for the male auditory 2% less full-time students. In regards to the learners over 30, there was a 2% more females in both part-time and full-time education, whilst relatively 8% and 10% of the males were attaining education.
