The pie charts compare the allocation of money by a UK school in 1981, 1991, and 2001.
Overall, teacher’s salaries, furniture and equipment, and insurance witnessed an upward trend, while the others declined. In addition, the percentage of teacher’s salary recorded the greatest figure over the surveyed period, as opposed to Insurance.
Starting at 40%, the proportion of money spent on teachers increased remarkably by a tenth, before falling by a slight 5% in 2001. However, in all three years, teacher’s salaries spending constituted a considerable percentage. In contrast, there was a gradual reduction from 28% to 15% in the income of other workers over two decades.
According to Insurance, the expenditure on it was the lowest, which stood at 2% in 1981, followed by four-fold growth to 8% in the final year. As for the remaining categories, furniture and equipment and resources had the same starting point. But then, despite the fact that the figure for the former fell significantly to 5%, four-fold lower than that of the latter, furniture and equipment expenses had overtaken the allocation of resources, at 23% and only 9% respectively.
