1 Includes teachers in local public school systems and in most private schools (religiously affiliated and nonsectarian). Teachers are reported in terms of full-time equivalents. | |||||||||||||
2 Data through 1995 are for institutions of higher education, while later data are for degree-granting institutions. Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. The degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, but it includes more 2-year colleges and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not grant degrees. Includes full-time and part-time faculty with the rank of instructor or above in colleges, universities, professional schools, and 2-year colleges. Excludes teaching assistants. | |||||||||||||
3 Estimated. | |||||||||||||
4 Inclusion of institutions is not consistent with surveys for 1987 and later years. | |||||||||||||
5 Data for elementary and secondary schools are projected; data for degree-granting institutions are actual. | |||||||||||||
6 Projected. | |||||||||||||
NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Headcounts are used to report data for degree-granting institutions faculty. | |||||||||||||
