IELTS Task 1 - Horizontal & Pie Chart: Adult education and cost sharing


The horizontal bar graph and pie chart depict why adults choose to study and how the adults think the cost of each course should be shared.

From an overall perspective of the horizontal bar graph, it is clear that the main reasons why adults opted for the higher study were because of interest in the subject and to gain qualifications. Approximately 20% studied further because it was either helpful for their present job or improved their promotion prospects.

The same percentage also studied because they enjoyed learning. Around 12% chose to pursue education to change jobs. The least popular reason at 9% was to meet new people.

From the pie chart, we can infer that people think that individuals should spend only 40% of their fees for higher education, while the employer should cover 35% and the taxpayer should pay 25% of their course fees.
