Dear Membes,
i would like to know which one of the following is the correct:
The number of subjects, which was specified for each institute, was
determined according to the total average number of the students in
each institute.
or Due to the difference of the total average number of the students
in each institute, the number of subjects, which was specified for
each institute, was distributed according to that.
------------------------------------
With regards to tables (5.33 & 5.34) about (90.91%) of the
teachers have emphasized, on the one hand, that teachers of English
language in Libya should use the Internet in their teaching programs
to enhance teaching and learning of English. On the other hand, by
using the Internet for English language teaching and learning EL
teachers in Libya can enhance student autonomy and give learners the
opportunity to manage their own learning, whereas only (9.9%) of the
teachers have rejected these ideas / both ideas.

The first paragraph is better in my opinion, but mathematically I
don't think there's such a thing as a 'total average'. I would just
write "according to the average number of students". And I'd drop the
first comma in the paragraph.

The second paragraph is better, but needs work.
"With regard to tables 5.33 & 5.34" not "regards to tables (5.33 &
5.34)". "About (90.91%)" doesn't need brackets, and saying "about" and
then quoting to one tenth of a percent precision looks strange.
I would say "it can be seen that about 91% of the teachers" or even
"approximately 91%". Also drop the brackets around "(9.9%)"

And the second - the relative clause doesn't require delimitation using
commas because its an identifying relative clauese, i.e. an essential
part of the sentence.
