The pie charts show how total school spending in Britain was divided among different

categories in 1981, 1991, and 2001. Overall, teachers' salaries made up the largest part of
spending in all three years, while insurance consistently represented the smallest share.
Even though some categories changed, staff salaries always dominated the school budget.
In detail, teachers' salaries constituted 40% of the total spending in 1981. This number rose
significantly to 50% in 1991, making it exactly half of the total school budget. However, by
2001, the percentage dropped slightly to 45%, but it still remained the biggest expense. In
contrast, spending on other salaries steadily declined, falling from 28% in 1981 to 22% in
1991, and then dropping further to only 15% in 2001. For the remaining categories,
insurance had the smallest share every year. It started at just 2% in 1981, doubled to 4% in
1991, and then rose to 8% by 2001. Meanwhile, spending on resources like books increased
from 15% in 1981 to 20% in 1991, before falling back to 9% in 2001. Finally, spending on
furniture and equipment showed a different trend, decreasing from 15% to 5% between 1981
and 1991, but then rising sharply to 23% in 2001, making it the second largest category that
year.
