The three pie charts illustrate the amount of expenditure in five fields each year, in an English school, over three years, separated by 10-year periods.
Overall, the majority of the school spending is dedicated to teachers’ salaries, with a percentage ranging from 40 to 50. Due to the demands of the school, some amounts of money are spent on facilities and resources.
To begin with 1981, about 70% of the total spending included salaries for all employees. Moreover, 30% of the total expenditure was found in equipment and books.
Shifting to 1991, half of the spending was invested in teachers, and it is obvious that teachers received more money compared to 10 years earlier. This is likely due to a lower need for equipment. Nevertheless, the paychecks of other workers declined.
Finally, in 2001, the school invested about 23% of the total spending on refurbishing or changing facilities, but resources did not comprise a high proportion. However, the salaries of all workers, including teachers and others, decreased from the amount in 1991.
