Then, there was a slight increase in terms of insurance with 2% in 1981 to 8% in 2001 in the UK. When it comes to other workers’ salaries the proportion of school spending on it experienced a downward trend from 28% to 15% over three years.
On the other hand, in 1981, 15% of total school budget went to resources. Then, the figure saw an increase to 20% in 1991, but encountered a drop to 9% in 2001. While the proportion of total school spending on furniture and equipment from 15% in 1981 to 5% in 1991, but it climbed to 23% in 2001.

Awesome work, Sally! You did so well on grammar, I had to look super hard for anything else wrong. I write this at the beginning instead of the corrections because I want you to know a few things:
1. green mean questions I have for you. They are not necessarily wrong, I just wanted to double check your understanding
2. blue are the suggestions I have, as in synonyms that would make the paragraph a little prettier. But the word you had before is totally okay!
3. yellow means errors that need to be changed.
4. orange means suggestions to make the word or paragraph better.
Whew! Now that that's done, I hope this helps! You did an excellent job, and I am very impressed that you are able to write about information based on just three graphs. It's not easy! I wouldn't have done as well as you did in my second language (Spanish). Don't be discouraged. Always keep improving. You totally got this, Sally!
Total school spending
These pie charts show the changes in annual spending by a (is this data taken from one school? If not, it should be "schools". If so, then it's fine. Carry on) school between 1981 and 2001 in the UK.The proportion of total school budget on teachers’ salaries increased from 40% in 1981 to 50% in 1991, but (this is good. Another word you can use is ", however,".) it fell by 5% in 2001 in the UK. Then, there was a slight increase in terms of insurance with ("from" might be better) 2% in 1981 to 8% in 2001 in the UK. When it comes to other workers’ salaries, the proportion of school spending on it experienced a downward trend from 28% to 15% over three years.
On the other hand, in 1981, 15% of total school budget went to resources. Then, the figure saw an increase to (did it go up from 15% to 20%, or did it increase 20%, making it from 15% to 35%) 20% in 1991, but encountered a drop to (again, did it drop 9%, making it 26%. Or did it go down to 9%?) 9% in 2001. While the proportion of total school spending on furniture and equipment from 15% in 1981 to 5% in 1991, but it climbed to 23% in 2001. "While the total proportion of school spending on furniture and equipment was 15% in 1981 and 5% in 1991, it climbed as high as 23% in 2001"(usually when we use a while statement, the second clause is some information that is very different than the information of first clause. That's why I put "as high as" to show how different the information was from the first part, if that makes sense.)
Overall, it is clear that the payment of teachers’ salaries accounted for the largest percentage of all categories in total school spending in 1981,1991 and 2001 in British the UK.
