Writing task 1
The table below describes percentages of home schooled students in Australia in 1999-2004. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown.
You should write at least 150 words.
The table shows the percentage of Australian students of different ages studying at home from 1990 to 2004. The most striking feature of the graph is the increase in popularity of home education over a six-year period. However, the growth was not steady in some age groups.
It is immediately evident that the proportion of the preschool children learning at home was the highest in 1990, with 2.4 percent, whereas all the other age groups accounted for up to 1.6 percent only. Another fact worth noticing in the table is that grades 1-2 and grades 5-6 experienced a slight decline in the percentage students preferring home based learning in 2000 and 2001, having at the lowest rate 1.2 percent and 1.3 percent respectively. Also noteworthy is a plateau experienced by grades 7-8 from 1999 to 2001 at the rate of 1.6 percent.
If we compare the overall percentage of students taught at home, we see that grades 5-6 had the most remarkable increase in the proportion of home schooled students, constituting 1.1 percent.
