Summary Statistics for Schools in Scotland No.4 : 2013 Edition

In table 2.4 the "Other" category includes those teaching elsewhere, including in the independent sector, those who have found supply work, and those who are unemployed or who have left teaching. Table 2.5 shows that some of these teachers secure posts as they become available later in the year or in subsequent years. For example while 63 per cent of the 2008/09 cohort were present in the 2010 census, 68 per cent were in the 2011 census, 69 per cent in the 2012 census, and 70 per cent in the 2013 census.
