⁽¹⁾ Includes qualified and unqualified teachers. ⁽²⁾ City technology colleges are excluded for 1997, 1998 and 1999, from the parliamentary constituency breakdown. They are included in the regional totals. ⁽³⁾ A small number of teaching assistants are included in the South West region total but excluded from the parliamentary breakdown because the constituency of some institutions is unknown.
