The graphs represent the outcome of a survey related to adult learning where the graph displays the factors that influence adults’ decision to pursue education and the pie chart illustrates how people believe the costs of adult education should be distributed.
Overall, students are mostly motivated to study because they are interested in the subject and want to become qualified. At the same time, people are thought to bear the greatest weight when it comes to cost-sharing.
Looking into more detail, 40% of the people desire to study because of their interest in the subjects, and 2% less than that pursue higher education to become qualified. The ratio of individuals finding higher education beneficial for current education accounts for 22% moreover, the proportion of people wanting to study to increase their chances of getting promoted and having fun learning is 20% each. However, the smallest percentage accounts for people driven by social contacts which is 9 and 12% of respondents are driven by a desire to change occupations.
Furthermore, the pie chart demonstrates that students bear the majority of the burden, accounting for 40% of the expenses. Employers, who are expected to contribute 35% of the costs, come in second, while taxpayers are responsible for 25% of the funding for an individual’s education.
