Notes:
1. All the data is derived from the 1991–92 section 42 statements received from local education authorities.
2. The age-weightings were matched as close as possible to the relevant year groups within each Key Stage but due to the difference in definitions of year groups and age bands between different local education authorities a perfect match was not always possible. For each age group the relevant unit cost was taken and these were then averaged over the number of age groups within each Key Stage. The averages are simple arithmetic averages of the unit costs applied to the age groups. No account has been taken of the relative size of each age group.
3. The following assumptions have been made: 36W

Full-time Part-time

Length of contract:

Less than 1 year 10,300 13,300

All teachers ¹²353,900 53,100

¹ Due to rounding individual figures do not sum to the total.

² Excludes 500 full-time teachers on secondment for whom no contracts information is available.
