The three pie charts describe the yearly school spending in the UK around three different years: 1981, 1991 and 2001. Overall, teachers’ salaries were the highest expenditure while insurance became the lowest. The number of other workers’ salaries and resources declined during the 20 years, while the portion of furniture, insurance, and salaries for teachers increased.
There was a different pattern for salaries for teachers and other workers. In 1981, the teachers’ wages were 40% and it went up to half of the total school spending before declining slightly to 45% in 2001. In comparison, payments for other workers started at 28% in 1981 and fell steadily to 15% in 2001.
The resources and furniture and equipment respectively had a portion of 15% in 1981. Then, in the followingn 20 years, it showed an opposite pattern. The allocation for resources had improved to 20% in 1991 and subsequently went down to 9% in 2001. In contrast, the portion of furniture and equipment fell first in 1991 to 5% before jumping significantly to 23% in 2001. Finally, insurance constantly rose during those periods. It stood at 2% in 1981 and it increased to 3% in 1991 before reaching 8% at the end of the period.
