The charts below show the percentage of male and female students of different age groups who studied in Australia for full-time and part-time education in 2006 

The bar charts illustrate the proportion of students of both genders who belonged to various age brackets and pursued part-time and full-time education in Australia in 2006. From an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the figures for male students engaged in part-time education were higher than full-time across all age cohorts, except for the oldest age group. It is also noteworthy that the majority of students in both full-time and part-time education of both genders were from 20 to 24 years old. 

Looking first of all at the statistics for male students aged from 20 to 24, an overwhelming percentage of them pursued part-time education at 40%, followed distantly by those aged 15 to 19 at 12%, with both those aged 25 to 29 and over 30 being equal at 8%. There were less notable disparities among the figures for males engaged in full-time education across all age groups, with those aged from 20 to 24 continuing to be most dominant at 12%, with those aged over 30, from 15 to 19, and 25 to 29 trailing slightly at 10%, 8%, and 6%, respectively.

Concerning the female demographics, the 20 to 24 age group accounted for the highest percentage of full-time students at 42%, considerably greater than that of part-time at 13%. In contrast, the percentage of part-time female students aged over 30 was higher than full-time, representing 12% and 6%, for each. The proportions of those aged from 25 to 29 in both full-time and part-time education were identical at 8%, whereas 17% of females were recorded to pursue part-time education compared to 7% of full-time students.
