SAMPLE ANSWER
This report is about a table giving statistics on students on Higher Education Courses in the UK and only in England, comparing the years 2003 to 2004 with the years 2013 to 2014. The table summarises the statistics into percentage increases, to make it clearer how much student numbers in higher education courses have increased.
In institutions in all of the UK, the sector that had the largest growth in students was the Postgraduate full-time course with a 76% increase from 2003 to 2014. Even though this course saw the greatest improvement, the higher education course with the most students in both periods was the Undergraduate full-time course with 997,661 students in 2003 to 2004 and 1,232,005 students in 2013 to 2014.
In institutions in only England, the Postgraduate full-time course was also the one to experience the most growth with an increase of 79% from 2003 to 2014. The other courses had percentage increases ranging from 15 to 40 per cent. Again, the higher education course with the most students in both periods was the Undergraduate full-time course with 807,138 students in 2003 to 2004 and 1,011,955 students in 2013 to 2014.
Overall, it is clear that the number of students increased significantly for the time periods in all courses in both the UK and only in England.
