Our Review
This is a decent attempt at summarizing the data, but it could be improved. The overview provides a good general statement. The description of the trends is generally accurate. However, the language is a bit repetitive ("part-time education" is used excessively), and the analysis could be sharper. For instance, pinpointing the exact percentage increases or decreases would add more weight. Also, there are some minor grammatical issues that need attention. To improve, focus on using varied language, providing specific data points, and ensuring grammatical accuracy.

Student Submission
The graph illustrates the amount of people pursuing their higher education and their mode of study.
Both men and women prefer part-time education in any period of time. Although, we see an increase in people opting for full-time education it's nowhere near compared to the people with part-time education.
During the 1970s, males were about 1000 thousands studying part-time education. Gradually, that count dropped about 800 thousands in the 1980s. There is a slight increase in part-time education in the 1990s. Whereas, the men going for full-time education steadily increased from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Women who opted for part-time education in the 1970s about 800 thousand which took a hop and rose above 1,000,000 by the 1990s. However, there is not much change for women who considered full-time education in the 1990s that with the 1980s, but still better compared to the 1970s.
Comparing both men and women, although the count of opting for full-time education is similar in the 1990s, women had the highest count studying part-time education.
