The chart below shows the number of men and women in further education in Britain in three periods and whether they were studying full-time or part-time.

The vertical bar chart illustrates the number of men and women in further full-time and part-time education in Britain from 1970 to 1990. The data is reported in thousands.

From an overall perspective, it is apparent that the number of men and women pursuing full-time education has steadily increased over two decades. While there were twice as many men as women in 1970, women surpassed enrollment figures a decade later. It is notable that by 1990, both men and women reported equal numbers at nearly 300 thousand.

Upon closer observation of part-time pursuing student trends, it is interesting that while full-time male students had a steady rise over two decades, part-timers had a gradual decline and reported a loss of about 100 thousand students. On the flip side, female students had an exponential growth by 1990 and, combined with their full-time counterparts, accounted for the highest number of students enrolled in further education overall.

To summarize, from a trend perspective, full-time and part-time student numbers have swelled up over two decades.
