The given charts give information about the number of students at a university in the UK from 1991 to 2001, government spending and the types of family economic background they came from in 1991. The bar chart and the line graph illustrate the number of students and financial support each received from the government in the UK between 1991 and 2001, and the pie chart shows their family financial situations in 1991.
Overall, while there were increasingly more university students in the UK over the given period, they received dramatically less governmental support, with a sudden subsidy cut between 1993 and 1995. In 1991, a majority of UK students came from middle-income families.
Of the total student numbers in the UK, in 1991, about 1. 1 million people were pursuing a college education in the UK. This figure then rose significantly by 400, 000 in 1993, followed by a slight increase to around 1. 6 million in 1995 and 1. 65 million in 1997 before peaking at 2. 1 million in the next two years. By 2001, the number had registered a minimal fall to 2 million. In contrast, experiencing a reverse trend, student grants offered by the government plummeted from more than 6, 500 pounds in the first surveyed year to around 4, 900 pounds in 1995. Since then, each student was provided with an unchanged amount of 4, 800 pounds annually till 2001.
As far as family’s financial background of students in 1991 is concerned, the proportion of students belonging to the middle-income class was 62%, being nearly eight-fold that of those living in low-income households and twofold that of those hailing from wealthy families.
