Writing Task 1 - EDUCATION LEVEL

The charts show average levels of participation in education and the highest education level of adults from 2000 to 2010 in Singapore.

The graphs give information about the average number of school years and the educational attainment of Singaporean men and women from 2000 to 2010. Overall, Singaporean men spent more time at school than women did. Additionally, the educational attainment of Singaporean adults increased over that ten-year period.

The average years that the men spent at school rose steadily from more than 8 to nearly 12 years throughout a ten year period. Whereas, the women spent only 8 years at school in 2000 and 2002. After that, the number of years that women spent at school increased slightly to around 9 years.

In 2000, Master and University qualification shared 7.5% and 8.3% respectively. However, these percentages significantly increased to 30.31% and 32.13% respectively in 2010. By contrast, Secondary and Primary school qualification decreased dramatically to 15.2% and 2.1% respectively in ten years.
