Describing a bar graph The bar graph gives an overview of the portion of people that were studying full-time or part-time in British further education over three decades. Overall, the number of both men and women in full-time education rose slightly between 1970 and 1990. On the other hand, the fraction of male part-time students decreased gradually, while the amount of women in the same regime had a significant increase. According to the chart, in 1970 there were about 100 thousand British men in full-time education and others one million in the part-time regime. However, over the next thirty years, the number of those who were studying full-time has grown slowly, and in 1990 it counted just over 200 thousand. In contrast, the portion of those men in part-time education has fluctuated throughout the considered period, having a small fall by about 100 thousand of students in 1990. When considering female students, it can be seen that the number of them in both types of education went up, although the rate of those that were studying part-time grew faster than the rate of female full-time students. The amount of women in part-time education has varied from slightly below 800 thousand to more than a million over that period, while there were about 100 thousand of female students in full-time education in 1970, and this number increased gradually to more than 200 thousand in 1990.
