The table shows the Proportions of Pupils Attending Four Secondary School Types Between Between 2000 and 2009.
The table illustrates the percentage of school children attending four different types of secondary school from 2000 to 2009.
Overall
, It is evident that whereas
the community schools
experienced a marked increase in the proportion of those attending their institutions over the period, the others saw a corresponding decline.
Firstly
, the percentage of pupils in voluntary-controlled schools
fell from just over half to only 20% or one-fifth from 2000 to 2009. Similarly
, the relative number of children in grammar schools
- just under one quarter - dropped by half in the same period. As for the specialist schools
, the relatively small percentage of pupils attending this
type of school (12%) also
fell, although
not significantly.
Despite the other three types of schools
declined in importance, the opposite was true in the case of community schools
. In fact, whereas
only a small minority of 12% were educated in these schools
in 2000, this
figure increased to well over half of all pupils during the following nine years.Submitted by vanshbisht11 on
