The three pie charts below show the changes in annual spending by a particular UK school in 1981, 1991 and 2001.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The three pie graphs compare spending habits of a UK school in 1981, 1991 and 2001. Overall, the main source of expenditure was teachers’ salaries throughout the period in question, ranging from 40% in 1981 to 45% in 2001, with a peak at 50% in 1991.

The other outgoings showed a wide range of different trends. Insurance and furniture and equipment increased over the two decades. In fact, the former quadrupled its initial proportion (from 2% to 8%), whilst the latter experienced dramatic fluctuations, with an overall climb from 15 to 23%, but also a huge drop to 5% in 1991.

On the other hand, the remaining types of expenses decreased. Payments to other employees declined steadily from just under 28% to 15%. Furthermore, other resources, such as books, after a one third growth from the 1981 figure of 15%, came back reaching 9% in 2001.

To conclude, while the chief expense of the school remained the same, the importance of the other ones changed significantly over the 20 years considered.
