Answer:
The provision of health care for children decreased, but the provision of books in schools increased.
Explanation:
The sentence is a compound one because it has two independent clauses, which means that the two sentences can stand on their own since they make sense, and we link them by the coordinating conjunction but. The two independent clauses are "The provision of health care for children decreased" and "the provision of facilities in schools increased"
If we want to create a complex sentence, we write a sentence with one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. For example, we can say: The provision of food increased, despite the heavy rain.
