The chart above illustrates the proportion of students enrolled in various courses at an adult education center, comparing data from 1985 to the current year.
Overall, the percentage of students participating in courses that include fitness and dance activities has remained constant. However, the Modern Languages course shows a decline in interest, with only 17% of students enrolling this year, compared to 24% in 1985. Additionally, this year, students are only taking five courses related to IT, a notable difference from the offerings in 1985.

This course is the most recent addition to the adult education center, replacing the Local History course that was previously offered in 1985.
