The bar chart illustrates the percentage of students who chose to study, and the pie chart shows the proportions of three sections to which costs should be distributed.
Overall, students’ main motives for studying include their interest in the subject, the desire to gain qualifications, and the desire to improve their job prospects. Regarding cost-sharing, people are seen as carrying the heaviest burden, followed by employers and taxpayers.
Looking at the first graph, 40% of people decided to pursue further education due to their interest in the subject, while 38% did so to qualify. Whereas 22%, 20%, and 20% of individuals find it helpful for their current employment, seek to improve their probability of raising, and pursue education for their enjoyment of learning, respectively. Smaller percentages are motivated by a desire to change careers (shown in the bar chart at 12%), and social interactions account for 9%.
The pie chart shows that most of the responsibility is on students, the most significant proportion of the costs, at 40%. Following closely behind are the employers, expected to pay a 35% contribution towards the costs, while the taxpayers are deemed accountable for 25% of the financial support for a person’s education.
