The bar graph illustrates how many male and female
students
 were studying full-time and part-time in Britain during the years 1970/1, 1980/1 and 1990/1.
Overall
, the number of
students
 in full-time
education
 increased over
this
 time. With regard to part-time
education
, there was a steady increase in
women
 choosing to study part-time but for
men
, the level fluctuated. Between the academic periods 1970/1 and 1990/1, the figures for
men
 studying full-time grew in steady increments, beginning at 100,000 in 1970/1 and rising to nearly 300,000 in 1990/1. For
women
, the numbers had
also
 risen to around 300,000 by 1990/1 on an increasing trend. Notably,
however
, the figure for females in full-time
education
 in 1970/1 was roughly half that of
men
, showing a greater take-up than
men

men
 and
women
 in part-time
education
 reversed, with male
