Note1: Each subgroup was determined by grouping subjects with similarly large numbers of teachers. In order to see how this breakdown was achieved, compare graph 6 with the results found in this table.
Note2: This statistic was obtained by summing the number of teachers in all subjects of a particular subgroup.
Note3: This statistic was obtained by dividing the total number teachers in each subgroup by the number of subjects in that subgroup.
Note4: This statsitic was obtained by dividing the average number of teachers in each subgroup with subject-related training by the average number of teachers in each subgroup.
