The three given graphs, including a bar chart, a line graph and a pie chart, respectively illustrate the number of undergraduates between 1991 and 2001, government spending and the types of family economic background they came from in 1991 in the UK.
Overall, the majority of family economic background in the English undergraduates in 1991 was the middle income. While the total number of students at university rose gradually, the government spending on each student showed a significant decrease trend over the period.
In the pie chart, it can be clearly seen that in 1991, over 60% of undergraduates in the UK were from the middle income families, which was about twice as much as that from the higher income family. Only 8% of students came from families that had a low income.
Turning to the bar chart showing the total number of students at university in the UK, the figure started with over 1 million in 1991, then rising significantly by about 500.000 in 1993 before gradually increasing to over 1.7 million in 1997. In the next 2 years, the number of students rose by 300.000, then dropped slightly to 2 millions in the year of 2001.
In the contrary to the increasing trend of the bar chart, the government spending illustrated in the line graph was decreased dramatically. Started with over 6500 pounds in 1991, this figure fell significantly by nearly 2000 pounds in the next 5 years, then stayed remained in 2001.
