The Teacher and Pupil Census 2009 will be published on Friday 27th November 2009 at 9.30am.
In line with The Code of Practice for Official Statistics and by agreement with the Chief Statistician for Scotland, Scottish Government statisticians delayed the publication of the Teacher and Pupil Census 2009, scheduled for publication on Tuesday 17th November at 9.30am. This publication was delayed because there remained some outstanding data quality checks which needed to be completed before the Teacher and Pupil Censuses 2009 were considered ready for release. These issues have now been resolved.
