The pie charts give the information about how much money was spent in a British school in three different years.
Overall, the largest portion of school expenditure in all three years was spent on teachers’ salaries. The amount of money allocated for insurance expenses rose fourfold, while the expenditure on salaries for other staff members decreased significantly.
To begin, in 1981 the biggest amount of money went towards paying teachers’ salaries, accounting for 40% of the total expenditure. This percentage saw a slight rise of 10% over the next decade. However, by 2001, the proportion decreased slightly to 45%. In addition, expenditures at the UK school for staff salaries were the lowest, beginning at 28% and experiencing a significant decline to 15% by the end of the period.
Turning to insurance, it experienced a rising trend, growing only 2% to almost one tenth by 2001, remaining the smallest sector throughout the whole period. As for resources, furniture and equipment, they displayed similar figures in 1981 (15% each). Resources accounted for 15% at the beginning of the period, then they rose to one fifth in the next decade, before plummeting to 9%. Expenditure on furniture and equipment saw a 10-percent decrease until 1991 and improved to almost a quarter in 2001.
