Footnotes

1. Percentage of those awarded QTS teaching in a state-funded school: percentage of those awarded QTS who are employed in a state-funded school in England within 16 months of qualification. 2020/21 employment figures are provisional (uplifted), all prior years are revised. Due to rounding, the sum of constituent parts may differ from the reported total. See methodology for further details.
2. Yet to complete: includes trainees who have not fully completed their course at the end of the academic year. They will go on to be awarded QTS or will complete without being awarded QTS in a later academic year.
3. Age: trainees aged 25 and over on 31 July 2021.
4. Trainees with gender not recorded as male or female are included in 'other'.
5. Degree classes relate to postgraduate ITT trainees only.
6. Teaching in a state-funded school: registered as employed in a state-funded school in England within 16 months of qualification. 2020/21 figures are provisional (uplifted), up to and including 2019/20 are revised. See methodology for further details.
7. UG degree class: "Upper second" includes undivided second class.
8. Other ethnicity includes Arab and Other ethnic background.
9. This publication includes final year trainees only. Undergraduate trainees with no recorded course end date are excluded from the publication (see methodology for more information).

11. This is the first full academic year which has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. As provisional employment figures are estimated using the previous year's figures, the estimate may not capture the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on employment rates. See methodology for further details.
12. UG degree class: Those with non-UK degrees or degree-equivalent qualifications are assigned UK style classifications where known, else are assigned "Other" or "Not known".
