Question
Answer
There is a bar chart and a pie chart containing information taken from a survey on adult education.
The bar chart describes why adults go into education and the pie chart shows who the respondents
think should pay for it. People mostly go into education out of interest, and, perhaps unsurprisingly,
it is believed that they should pay for it themselves.
According to the data, forty percent of adults go into education due to some sort of interest in a
particular subject, while thirty-eight percent do it to gain qualifications. These are far and away the
most common reasons, as the next most frequently cited reason was almost half this value. Several
reasons were picked by about twenty percent of people, including the fact that it may help them
earn a promotion at work. The least frequently stated answer was that adult education is a good
way to meet new people.
The survey results showed forty percent of people believe the individual should pay the costs of a
course. This matches quite well with the previous data, as the same percentage of people did these
courses purely out of interest.
