The bar graph compares the number of experimental alternative schools established in New South Wales across different decades. The x-axis represents the decades from 1900 to 2010, while the y-axis represents the number of schools established, ranging from 0 to 25. There are 11 vertical bars, each representing a decade. The bars show the following data: 1900 has 0 schools, 1910 has 3 schools, 1920 has 7 schools, 1930 has 3 schools, 1940 has 0 schools, 1950 has 1 school, 1960 has 3 schools, 1970 has 16 schools, 1980 has 11 schools, 1990 has 8 schools, 2000 has 11 schools, and 2010 has 23 schools. The graph shows a significant increase in the number of schools established in the decades of 1970, 2000, and 2010. All values are approximated.Experimental alternative schools opened each decade in NSW
