The chart shows the amount of money the instructor has collected from students toward maintenance of equipment and the amount he has spent purchasing and maintaining equipment for use by students in his courses since 1997 in the UAE. These figures are presented so that students can appreciate that their fees are going toward keeping equipment they might use in serviceable condition rather than toward compensating the instructor.
