In 1980, the rate of suitable degree courses slightly increased from 35% to 37%. It was the percentage of people who engaged in good sports and social activities that led to little attention in 2007 and the third reason in 1980.
However, there is a big change in the percentage of children living close to their parents, from 10% in 1980 to 22% in 2007. And the rate of affecting teaching quality went up in 2007 but only 3% compared with 15% in 1980.
