Footnotes

  1. 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.
  2. The 2021/22 revised and 2022/23 provisional data do not contain forecast trainees, this is due to a change in data collection methodology.
  3. Data was extracted on 14 November 2022.
  4. Design & Technology: includes food technology and engineering.
  5. Figures for 2022/23 are provisional and are subject to change. Figures for 2021/22 and all previous years have been revised.
  6. 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.
  7. Modern Foreign Languages: here includes classics.
  8. Warning: percentages have been rounded and therefore may not sum to 100%.
  9. Other subject: here includes a different mix of subjects to the main targets by subject table, this is for consistency with historic teacher supply model groupings; Other includes Drama from 2014/15 and Citizenship from 2015/16.
  10. Troops to Teachers are excluded from all figures before 2021/22.
  11. Subject: The subject given here is ITT subject and may not be the same as the subject of the undergraduate degree held.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Business Studies: includes economics from 2019/20.
