Both men and women could equally access to further education in the UK in the last thirty years.

A relevant difference between them is how was developing the number of people who could study. The female students, either in part-time and full-time education, were increasing from 1970 when they became more than 100 thousand. This did not happen with male students, who reduced their presence in further education from 1970 with 1000 thousand students, barely more than 800 thousand in 1980 and a small increase in 1990.

In another way, according to this information, the part-time education was more elected than full-time education. However, the full-time education has progressively taken place comparing the numbers of students from the 70' to the 90'. The most significant growth is detected again in female students. Were approximately registered 100 thousand in all Britain in 1970 but ten years after this number went up 200 thousand.
