The three pie charts illustrate how the annual spending of UK school changed in 1981, 1991 and 2001. In brief, what stands out from the charts is that teachers’ salaries was the greatest school expenditure over the entire research period, while the insurance is the lowest school spending during the same period. In detail, the teachers’ salaries fluctuated during the entire period, accounting for less than a half in 1981 and 2001 ( 40% and 45% respectively). Also, the teachers’ salaries took up a half for the year 1991. Conversely, other workers salaries significantly declined from approximately a third (28%) in 1981 to about a fifth(22%) in 1991. In addition, other workers’ salaries almost halved from 28% in 1981 to 15% in 2001. In terms of insurance, this sector was the lowest school expenditure in 1981, taking up only 2%. However, insurance slightly increased from 3% in 1991 to 8% in 2001. Conversely, resources e.g. books fluctuated from 15% in 1981 to 9% in 2001, taking up a fifth(20%) for the year 1991. Also, furniture and equipment rose from 15% in 1981 to 23% in 2001 even though it made up only 5% for the year 1991. |
