1. Includes lecturers, instructors and other teaching staff such as coaches. In PCEIP 2007, this category was combined with "assistant professors" to form "other ranks".
Notes: To ensure the confidentiality of responses, a random rounding process is applied to the data. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values, since the total and subtotals are independently rounded. Similarly, percentage distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%. In addition, the revisions to information published in PCEIP 2007 required new random rounding of all figures; therefore, these figures may differ slightly from those published in the PCEIP 2007 table.
