The bar chart and pie charts describe the average levels of participation in education in Singapore from 2000 to 2010, categorized by the genders of the students and the levels of their degree.
According to the bar chart, the adult males usually spent 9 years at formal educational institutions in 2000 whereas, for the females, it was 8 years. Following an upward trend, the time needed to complete school education took 11.5 years for the men in 2010. Similiarly, it reached 9 years for the women despite they always spent less time to complete their education than men.
In addition, the pie charts illustrate the changes that took place in the participation in the levels of education in 10 years. The first level of education, primary school qualification, decreased significantly from 25.77% to 2.1%. Likewise, the percentage of students completing secondary school qualification dropped by 11.1%. Identically, the number of learners had been reduced to 19.55% from 32.12% in 2010.
