The number of teachers teaching each subject in secondary schools are estimates. The annual School Workforce Census typically receives curriculum taught data for over 70% of secondary school teachers. The sample data received have been weighted and grossed so that all figures presented provide a representative, national picture. Due to the sample nature of the data received, regional and local estimates are not produced.
