Note: Changes to the arrangements for the initial employment of teaching graduates in Scotland with the introduction of the Teacher Induction Scheme in 2002 led to most teaching graduates going into teaching posts in Scotland falling into the temporary UK employment category. Previously such graduates would have served a two year probationary period and would have fallen into the permanent UK employment category. The effect of this is most noticeable for postgraduate respondents.
