The difference in size between and other colleges is reflected not only in the number of subjects typically offered, but also in the number of teachers per college offering each subject. As shown in Table 16, a GFE college tends to employ more staff teaching all subjects commonly offered, from Science and Mathematics to ICT and Visual and Performing Arts and Media. However, the number of teachers per college is higher in other colleges for Humanities, Construction, and Land Based Provision. This is partly driven by the diverse composition of other colleges, and in particular by the presence of six Agriculture and Horticulture Colleges (AHCs) in our sample. Among other colleges in our sample, only AHCs offer Land Based Provision and Construction. Five of the AHCs in our sample held over 30 Land Based Provision teaching contracts, which explains the large number of teachers per college shown in Table 16. The relatively high number of Construction teachers per college is largely due to one AHC holding 94 Construction teaching contracts. Figures in Table 16 on less common subjects should be interpreted with caution given the small number of colleges and contracts involved, particularly for the colleges” group.
