The 3 pie charts show the proportion of money spent on 5 aspects by a UK school in 1981, 1991, and 2001.

The three pie charts compare the yearly amount of money spent on five categories by a UK school in three different years from 1981 to 2001. Overall, teacher’s salaries accounted for the highest amount of spending over the 20-year period. By contrast, least money was spent on insurance. In 1981, the percentage of expenditure on salaries for teachers was highest, occupying 40%, followed by 28% on other worker’s incomes. The figure for school’s resources, and furniture and equipment was 15% for each category, while only 2% of budget was paid for insurance. Over the following 20 years, the proportion of money on teacher’s incomes rose to a half of total expenditure in 1991, before falling by 5% in 2001. The same pattern was witnessed in resources, with 20% in 1991 and 9% in 2001. By contrast, the figure for furniture and equipment declined by 10% in 1991, after which became the second highest figure, at 23% in 2001. Finally, spending on incomes for other workers fell constantly to 15%, whereas expenditure on insurance rose slightly to 8% in the last year of the period.
