A study by Buckingham University found 27,976 (71.5%) of the 39,103 trainees who qualified in the summer of 2010 were in teaching posts in January 2011.
It found that 62% of the trainees were teaching in state schools, while 5% were in independent schools and 4% in "other" education.
The Department for Education said not all trainees started work immediately while others worked as supply teachers. School-led courses

The report found that teacher trainees who entered the profession via "hands-on" courses were more likely to go into the profession than those trained at universities, even though only a relatively small number of teachers come through this route.
In 2009-10, 78% trained at universities, while 4.5% trained on school-based courses and 17% were in employment-based training.
