The three pieces charts illustrate the changes in annual spending by a particular British school in 1981, 1991, and 2001.
Overall, in three years, the most significant sources pf spending were on teachers salaries and furniture and equipment, which together accounted for over half of expenses, while resources books and other workers salaries of expenses sources generated the last amount of school budget.In all types of school budget there was only minimal change over the 30 year period.
School budget teachers salaries compared 40% in the first year and this percentage increased of about 10% to 50% in 1991. However, by 2001, the share had slightly decreased to 45%. On the other hand, spending on furniture and equipment experienced significant fluctuations. Initially, it accounted for 15% in 1981, dropped substantially to 5% in 1991, and then surged to 23% by 2001, indicating a renewed focus on this area towards the end of the period.
Expenditure on resources such as books also showed variation over the years. Starting at 15% in 1981, it increased to 20% in 1991 before declining sharply to 9% in 2001. Meanwhile, other workers’ salaries saw a consistent decrease, from 28% in 1981 to 22% in 1991, and further down to 15% in 2001. Insurance costs, although the smallest portion of the budget, demonstrated a steady increase: beginning at 2% in 1981, rising to 3% in 1991, and reaching 8% in 2001. This trend reflects a growing emphasis on insurance over the two decades.
