Abstract
In the last chapter attention was focused on the labour market for graduates. In the present chapter the focus is narrowed in order to consider in greater detail a sub-set of those graduates: those who go on to become educators in primary, secondary or tertiary education. Like many other graduates, these workers generally undertake some sort of training at postgraduate level, and this may take the form of teacher training or study for higher degrees.
