  6. The below secondary and secondary range has increased, the post secondary has decreased too, but at a smaller degree, while the diploma and professional qualifications, plus university, have increased.

  8. The educational attainment of people in 2009 than 1999 is much more higher.
    The education system has improved (so people can learn much better), the economy has improved (so people can have the money to continue their studies).

  9. In 1999 there was fewer educational attainment compared to 2009.
    The education standard has risen since 1999 so people during 2009 receive a higher standard of education compared to 1999 so there are more people with the capability to graduate and have awards.
