The pie graphs provide information about how yearly expenditures by a particular UK changed over two decades, from 1981 to 2001.
Overall, while the percentage of spending on teachers’ salaries, insurance, furniture and equipment increased, that of other employees’ wages and resources saw a significant decline. In addition, the figures for tutors’ pay were consistently the highest ones, and those for insurance were invariably the lowest ones.
In 1981, 40% of the total cost was allocated to teachers’ salaries, followed by a considerable rise to 50% in the next 10 years before experiencing a slight decrease to 45% in the final year. Similarly, the board of the school paid 15% of their budget for furniture and equipment in 1981, after which it saw a sharp growth to 23% after 20 years. A resembling change can be seen in the share of insurance cost, which only was 2% in 1981 before witnessing a four-fold increase in 2001.
Conversely, spending on other worker’s wages accounted for 28% at the beginning of the period examined, after which it continuously shrank to 22% in 1991 and 15% in 2001. A resembling change, but to a lesser extent, can be seen in the proportion of spending on resources (e.g books), which started at 15% in 1981, after that it reached 20% before tumbling to only 9% at the end of the stage.
