Hi,

Your description is generally ok and fills the requirements of the task, but you should avoid using 'time' phrases as there is no time frame in this graph.

For example you say:

"Overall, it can be noticed that in both countries science qualifications hold (held) by people increased".

So your overview is in fact incorrect because nothing increased.

Also:

"A significant decrease is evident comparing school leaving exams..."

"On the other hand, the number of Master's Degree gotten (awarded, not 'gotten') are steadily at..."

Stick with compare and contrast language if there is no time frame.

But apart from that you are approaching your analysis in the right way - introducing the graph, providing an overview, and describing the main trends whilst ensuring you make comparisons and contrasts.
