Model Answer:

The bar chart and pie charts illustrate the percentage of poeple in Glasgow having three levels of
education (university, school and those with no qualifications) in 2012. Information is divided into five
age groups in the bar chart and by gender in the pie charts.

Overall, the majority of people with university education were in the younger age groups, while in the
oldest age group most people did not have any qualifications. The proportions of men and women were
similar and showed little difference between the levels of education.

The percentage of people with university education was up to 76% un the younger three age groups
compared to only 50% in those aged 50 and 75 and just 25% in those over 75. This trend was reversed in
those with no qualifications (9% in younger people rising to 72% int he oldest age group). The figure for
those with school education was relatively constant at around 20% but was as low as 3% in the over
75’s.

The proportion of men and women in each level of education was around one third with only a slight
difference of 3% in university graduates as well as those who did not have educational qualifications.
