                  The graphs give information about the primary reasons for education among pupils of various age clusters and the amount of help they get from working professionals.

                     Regarding the reasons for studying according to the age of students, under the 26- year -age group, 80% of pupils choose to study for a career, which is more than 8 times that of the interested ones. Students studying for a career account for 68% of the student population, while those who are interested account for only 15% of the 26-29 age group. The proportions of both types of pupils remain the same in the 40-49 age cluster. The proportion of students studying for pleasure peaks at 70%, while the proportion of students studying for a living falls to 18% for those over the age of 49.

                  Turning to employer support in terms of time off and help with fees, the proportion of support drops from 70% for below 26-year-old pupils to 50% for the 26-29 age group, before dropping to 35%, which is the lowest number. The over-49 age group has 45% of the population, which is 11% higher than the 40-49 age group.

                                     The charts give information about the causes of studying either for a career or for an interest in students of different age groups, plus the support they get from workers.

                                  Regarding studies for careers, there is a downward trend. However, it goes up with age for students who study for interest. We can see that students younger than 26 pursue career courses mainly, and very few students are studying for interest. Students aged 49 and older are mainly interested in hobby courses (70%) and very few students take admission in career courses (18%).

                        Turning to employer support, it is a downward trend. Their support varies with the students’ age group. Their support is maximum for pupils younger than 26, which is 65%. After that, it started decreasing, 40% for 30-39 years old before rising to 45% for 49 years old and older.

                                Overall, it can be seen that students younger than 39 years old are mainly interested in career courses. However, if we talk about older students, they are interested in entertainment courses compared to career courses. The proportion of employer support decreases in line with the percentage of students for career courses up to the age of 39 years. After that, it increases with interest course proportion.
