The pie charts illustrate the differences in yearly expenditure by a school located in the UK across three years, 1981, 1991, and 2001. Overall, it can be clearly seen that most of the annual spending went to teachers’ salaries, whilst the lowest amount was reserved for insurance. In addition, the sectors that increased in spending over the years were insurance, teachers’ salaries, and furniture and equipment, while the sectors that decreased in funding were the salaries of other workers and resources such as books.
The teachers’ salaries took most of the yearly spending, rising to 50% before dropping down to 45% in 2001. In contrast, the salaries of other workers took quite a dip and continued to do so with a total of 13% decrease, resulting in only taking 15% by 2001.
The spending on furniture and equipment took quite a plunge between 1981 and 1991, before rising back again, ending up with 23% in 2001. On the contrary, resources started off strong with a steady rise but experienced a sudden drop in expenditure, resulting in only 9% in 2001. Unlike the rest, the numbers for insurance gradually improved, starting with 2% and ending with 8% in 2001.
