The chart below shows the number of men and women in further education in Britain in three periods and whether they were studying fulltime or part-time. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given bar chart illustrates the number of males and females doing full-time or part-time study in Britain in three different subsequent decades, which are 1970/71, 1980/81 and 1990/91.

Overall

, the full-time has way higher students than the part-time students.

Also

, over the years, part-time students have increased in numbers. Looking at the men's data,

although

we notice full-time education had the highest numbers during the starting period with around 1000 men, it fell between 800 and 1000 in the following decades.

However

, part-time has shown an increasing trend with around 100 men at the start, but

then

it rose to about 200 by 1990/91. Meanwhile, the women's graph has an inclination toward both types of studies. In the year 1970/71 full-time had around 700 women which rose to above 1000 in 1990/91.

Similarly

, part-time started at below 100 and

then

rose to 200 following decades, where it remained stable until the next decade.
