The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in developing and

industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The given bar graphs compare the educational involvements of students in term of total years of education
and their participation in science-related subjects in developing and industrial countries from the year 1980
to 1990.

As is presented in the first bar graph, average years of schooling in developing countries were
approximately 2 years while in industrial countries schooling years were over 8 years in 1980. Interestingly
after one decade schooling years in developing countries magnified to over 3 years while it surged to over
10 years in industrial countries.

As is observed from the second bar graph, the number of scientists and technicians were much higher in
industrial countries than in developing countries. Percentage of scientists and technicians were less than 20
percent in developing countries from 1980 to 1990 while it was just over 40 percent in 1980 which soared to
approximately 70 percent in 1990.

According to the third bar graph, it can be seen clearly, spending on research and development in industrial
countries was far higher than developing countries. The spending in 1980 in developing countries was
around 50 billion US dollars while it was 150 billion dollars in industrial countries. Ultimately, after a decade
spending on research and development slumped significantly almost 50 percent while spending in industrial
countries peaked to approximately 350 billion US dollars respectively.
