Note: Due to the introduction of the Teacher Induction Scheme in 2002, most teaching graduates going into teaching posts in Scotland now fall into the temporary UK employment category. The effect of this is most noticeable for postgraduate respondents.

'Other' destinations include those who are unable to work, looking after the home or family, taking time out in order to travel, etc.
