Staffing: Teachers
5.9 At September 1999, there were just over 26,100 teachers, with a full-time equivalent of about 24,450, employed in publicly funded secondary schools. Just over 53 per cent of secondary teachers (FTE) were female. Almost two thirds of unpromoted teachers were female. This compared to over half of Assistant Principal and Senior Teachers and over a third of Principal Teachers. Nearly a third of Assistant Headteachers were female, as were one in five Depute Headteachers. Only 11.5 per cent of Headteachers were female.
5.10 Overall, 13.6 per cent of secondary teachers were working part-time. The mode of working of teachers is recorded on a school-by-school basis. Thus staff who work full-time, but in more than one school, will be recorded as working part-time in each of these schools. Similarly, that will include those staff who work in the primary/secondary and secondary/special departments of a school serving more than one sector. This means that the part-time teachers numbers shown in Table 17 will be an over-estimate of the actual number of individual part-time teachers in the secondary school sector. Part-time working occurred more frequently amongst unpromoted teachers, more than a quarter of whom were working part-time, but was generally uncommon in other grades.
