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 bar graph describes how many males and females have enrolled in tertiary level of education in the years 1970/71, 1980/81 and 1990/91 and whether they are studying full-time and part-time. Overall, it is clear that in all three periods more people of both sexes were involved in part-time education than full-time education. However, while the number of women studying all types of courses increased significantly over the period shown, the number of men studying part-time decreased moderately. With respect to part-time education, the number of men doubled over the period, rising from 100000 in 1970/71 to 200000 by 1990/91. The number of women studying in this way was also around 200000, which was substantially higher than the figure of 40000 in 1970/71. As for full-time studying, there was considerable growth in the number of women, with the figure climbing from 700000 to 1. 1 million, which was the highest level in any period for any kind of studying. On the other hand, the number of men studying full-time dropped from 1 million to about 800000 between 1970/71 and 1980/81, although it then rose again to 900000 in 1990/91, resulting in a decline of 100000 over the whole period.
