Table 26: Pre-School & Childcare Statistics, January 2008- Clarification - 19 December 2008

There has been a change in the way in which data on the headcount of GTCS Registered Teachers is collected. In previous years the headcount included teachers who worked on a peripatetic basis or were shared with other centres and may have counted them at each centre they worked. In this table the figures in columns 1 to 3 which are headcounts exclude peripatetic teachers. As a result the headcount figures in this years publication are not directly comparable with previous years.
