! Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 percent and 50 percent (i.e., the standard error is at least 30 percent and less than 50 percent of the estimate).

‡ Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate, or the coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is 50 percent or greater (i.e., the standard error is 50 percent or more of the estimate).

NOTE: Data are weighted estimates of the population. “Stayers” are teachers who were teachers in the same school in the 2021–22 TFS school year as in the 2020–21 NTPS school year. “Movers” are teachers who were still teachers in the 2021–22 TFS school year but had moved to a different school from their 2020–21 NTPS school. “Leavers” are teachers in the 2020–21 NTPS school year who were no longer teachers in the 2021–22 TFS school year. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
