The pie charts demonstrate how the expenditure of a school in the UK

changed across 1982, 1992 and 2002.

Overall, it is clear that, in each of the years, the category which received more
funding than any other was teachers’ salaries, whereas the smallest amount
of money went toward insurance.

From 1982 to 1992, while spending on teachers’ salaries grew by 10% to ac-
count for half of all spending, the financing of other workers’ salaries fell from
28% to 22%. 30% of the budget in 1982 was divided equally between re-
sources and furniture and equipment, but the former’s share increased by 5%
in 1992, whereas the latter’s dropped by 10%. The increase of insurance
spending was negligible, rising from 2% to 3%.

Between 1992 and 2002, only insurance and furniture and equipment saw
their budget share increase, by 5% and 18% respectively. Whereas the allo-
cation of spending roughly halved for resources, the salaries for other work-
ers dropped to 15% and for teachers to 45%.
