Analysis and improvements for a visualization of Hong Kong post-secondary education

Recently, we studied a line chart in a report of China Daily, which was showing the trends of Hong Kong youth's participation in four post-secondary education programs from 2000-2017. After studying the background, we deeply analyzed this information visualization in various aspects, such as its impact on society, its advantages and disadvantages as an information visualization, its issues on the aspect of analyzing information visualization, and how to improve it into a more readable visualization by combining cognitive theory, etc. With the efforts of analyzing the background and building the connections between real-world events and the visualization, we introduced the story of this visualization. We fully replicated the original information visualization by using Matplotlib, and then to make improvements, we applied the theory and principles of information visualization to it by using our critical thinking. Finally, we draw our own thoughts on the final visualization.

The theme of this graph is to show the rate of Hong Kong youth participated in a sub-degree and undergraduate program, from this visualization, we can gain a lot of valuable insights about the education state, education reform, and social issues of Hong Kong. Some insights may be applied to the same situation in other places of China.

Acknowledging the importance of the visualization, you may want to know how to read the graph. Actually, the graph is a concise and readable line chart. The x-axis represents the year(from 2000-2017) and the y-axis represents the number of students graduated from certain education program(in thousand). The four lines colored in red, blue, gray and green represent self-financing sub-degree, publicly-funded undergraduate, publicly-funded sub-degree and self-financing undergraduate respectively, showing how Hong Kong youth participation in four different education programs changes in the given period of time. And Each coordinate point represents the number of Hong Kong youth graduated in a certain education program in the year. The graph also gives the value of starting and ending points for each line
