the graphs below show the annual spending of a particular uk university from 1981 to 2001 gxg5L

A glance at the pie charts given reveals how UK schools allocated their budgets for five categories in 1981, 1991 and 2001 respectively. Overall, there are several patterns that are evident in those graphs during the period of 3 years. Teachers' wages accounted for 40% of school spending in 1981, the highest percentage. In the following year, the figure accounted for half of the whole proportion before falling by 5% by the end of 2001. During the former 10 year, the percentage of expense on resources slightly increased by 2% before dropping at 5% in 2001. Expenditure on other staff’s salary, meanwhile, stood at 33% in 1981 then decreased gradually from 28% of the budget in 1981 to barely 15% in 2001. In stark contrast, in 1981, insurance spending accounted for only 2% of total spending but by 2001, it had risen to 8%. Yet the most significant change was expenditure on furniture and equipment when the figure rose noticeably from 15% in 1981 to 24% in 2001, the highest overall despite falling at 7% in 1991.
