The bar chart shows the number of timers spent per head in school of adults, while the pie chart indicates the number of times the different levels of education achieved by adults in Singapore in 2000 and 2010 of adults over the course of the first one decade of XXI century.
Overall, there was an acceleration in the number of years spent in education for both males and females. Additionally, the upward tendency of educational qualifications was seen clearly in the second image.
According to the first chart, the average number of years spent at school for adults in 2000 started at nearly 9 years for males compared to 8 years for females in 2000. After 10 years, the data of males’ years spent at school increased steadily per 2 years and reached a peak in the end at just under 12 years. However, the 2000-2004 period witnessed a stable remaining female number, followed by an increase with a lower level than male in the last 2 years. In 2010, the female adults data made up 9% which was nearly 3% lower than males’ data.
Regarding the second chart in 2000, the highschool qualification occupied approximately one-third among the categories which was 5% higher than secondary one. The figures for those who only finished primary and secondary were almost equal, at nearly 26% each, compared to less than 10% of Singaporeans who had a bachelor or master’s degree. However, over a 10-years period, highschool percentage decreased by 12.58%, similar to secondary and primary qualifications which fell to 15.2% in the former and 2.1% in the latter. Last but not least, nearly two thirds of adults’s population achieved university degrees and master degrees respectively 32.93% and 30.31%.
