Portfolio task 2

          Studying is very important these days.  Two figures are shown. The first chart provides information regarding the reasons for study among students of different age groups in the UK. The second chart is about the amount of support they receive from employers.

          Firstly, regarding the first bar chart, the overall trend is that the number of students is studying for career decreases, and the number studying for interest increases with the increase of age; students under 26 recorded 80% for career and only 10% for interest. Also students over 49 had almost 29% studying for career and 70% for interest. However students between 40 and 49 had percentage of 40 for both reasons of studying.

        Looking at the second bar chart it can be seen that the significant information is that students under the age of 26 had the most support from the employers at nearly 64%. Student, between 30 and 39 had the least support almost 33%. Students over 49 also had good support.
