Footnotes
- The Teacher Workforce Model (TWM) is used by DfE to set postgraduate ITT targets https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/postgraduate-initial-teacher-training-targets/2022-23.
- The 2021/22 revised and 2022/23 provisional data do not contain forecast trainees, this is due to a change in data collection methodology.
- Percentages exclude trainees where information was not supplied, or where characteristics were reported as ‘unknown’.
- Data was extracted on 14 November 2022.
- Design & Technology: includes food technology and engineering.
- Figures for 2022/23 are provisional and are subject to change. Figures for 2021/22 and all previous years have been revised.
- Due to a technical issue with the mapping of disability information into Register, disability data for 2022/23 includes a significantly larger proportion of unknowns than past years. As the issue is impacting some disability categories more than others, the decision has been made to publish this data once the issue has been fixed. Disability data is therefore currently unavailable for 2022/23 but available for all other years.
- Other: includes media and communication studies, social studies, and psychology.
- EEA National: here relates to individuals with a European Union, European Economic Area or included in the single market- this includes Swiss nationality. The UK is not included in these figures.
- Warning: percentages have been rounded and therefore may not sum to 100%.
- Business studies: includes economics.
- Total Ebacc: EBacc here includes English, mathematics, modern foreign languages, physics, biology, chemistry, history, geography, computing and classics. Trainees on the 'PE with Ebacc' programme are not included.
- Troops to Teachers are excluded from all figures before 2021/22.
- Subject: The subject given here is ITT subject and may not be the same as the subject of the undergraduate degree held.
- Sex other: Sex was previously reported as gender. This has been updated as it was previously mislabelled. For 2021/22 and 2022/23, trainees who chose not to provide data on sex have been included in an 'unknown' category. Prior to this they were included in 'other'.
- Primary: Prior to 2018/19, a small number of Primary trainees on subject specialist courses were reported against their subject specialism and were included in Total Secondary. From 2018/19, they are reported as Primary.
- Undergraduate: The majority of undergraduate provision is offered by higher education institutions, except for 95 trainees on undergraduate school centred ITT programmes in 2022/23 and 113 trainees in 2021/22.
- STEM here includes biology, chemistry, computing, mathematics and physics.
- Physical Education: includes dance.
