Road to IELTS_Task 1 The chart provides information on men and women in further education in Britain in three periods, also comparing the number of people for each category studying full-time and part-time. The graph shows that the number of men in further education studying part-time decreased from 1970/71 to 1990/91, while an opposite trend was registered for women’s education. Indeed, the number of women in further part-time education highly increased over the three periods, reaching a pick in 1990/91 with over a million of women studying part-time. Such comparison does not apply to full-time education, as the chart shows a common trend for both men and women. The number of full-time students for each category steadily grew during the time considered, however a sharper increase particularly interested women in further education, whose number doubled from almost 100.000 in 1970/71 to over 200.000 in 1980/81. Overall, female students in 1990/91 were more engaged in education than their male counterpart, either surpassing or reaching the same level achieved by men respectively in part-time and full-time education.
