Candidate’s Response:

The bar chart given compares in percentage the men teachers with their women counterparts across various educational settings of Britain in 2010 from nursery school to university. Overall, a considerable contrast is seen between them.

Females accounted for nearly all teaching positions in nursery and primary schools, and majority of them in secondary schools (approximately 56 per cent). They held the same share of posts as males did at colleges. Nevertheless, proportion of women teachers fell just below the half of overall positions at private training institutions. Evidently, the lowest number of women teachers are employed in universities (one fourth of the total posts).

Men, on the other hand, were represented in significantly smaller proportions at nursery and primary schools (2 and roughly 8 per cent respectively). Their shares were more equal to ones of women at secondary schools, colleges, and private training institute levels. However, there were twice as many male lecturers employed in universities as females (70 per cent).

Evidently, the majority of teachers in early stages of educational ladder are ladies, while lecturers of the opposite sex hold higher number of posts in universities.

Feedback:

Thank you indeed for writing this report. The table illustrates information from 2010, so the verb tense must remain past simple
throughout. Other than this, the report is highly successful in delivering the data orderly and accurately. In the box below, you may see that the yellow-shaded areas need improvement; for instance, the report could use a wider range of grammatical structures.

The provided chart illustrates the distribution of male and female teachers across six distinct educational settings in the UK during the year 2010. The data is presented in the form of bar graphs, with separate bars representing the percentages of male and female teachers in each setting.

In terms of nursery and pre-school settings, female teachers dominated, constituting around 98% of the teaching workforce. This gender disparity was similarly observed in primary schools, where approximately 85% of teachers were female, leaving only a marginal proportion for male teachers.

In secondary schools, the distribution was more balanced, with female teachers accounting for roughly 55% of the workforce, while male teachers made up the remaining 45%. This trend continued into the college setting, where the percentage of female teachers remained relatively stable at approximately 53%.

Private training institutes exhibited a similar distribution, with a nearly even split between male and female teachers, at around 50% each. Notably, the university setting saw the highest percentage of male teachers, constituting about 55% of the workforce. Conversely, female teachers in universities represented the remaining 45%.

To summarize, the chart demonstrates a varying distribution of male and female teachers across different educational settings in the UK in 2010. Nursery and pre-school settings were predominantly staffed by female teachers, while primary schools continued this trend. Gender balance was more evident in secondary schools, colleges, and private training institutes, while universities had a higher proportion of male teachers.
