The line graph illustrates the average number of hours students spent studying Math, English and History per week between 2000 and 2020.
Overall, the average time students spent studying Math and History increased over the period, whereas the figure for English declined overall. It is also noticeable that English was the subject on which students spent the most time initially, while Math became the most studied subject by the end of the period.
Turning to Math and History, both subjects showed similar overall upward trends. In 2000, students spent approximately 12 hours per week studying Math, compared with around 9 hours for History. Both figures then increased slightly before experiencing minor declines. After that, the time spent studying the two subjects rose again, reaching approximately 19 and 13 hours respectively in 2015. Although both figures fell slightly afterwards, they increased towards the end of the period, with Math reaching a peak of around 20 hours and History rising to approximately 17 hours.
Turning to English, students initially spent the most time studying this subject, at approximately 15 hours per week in 2000. Five years later, the figure rose to around 17 hours before falling significantly to approximately 12 hours. Although the time spent studying English recovered to around 15 hours in 2015, it subsequently declined and ended the period at approximately 12 hours.
