Why subject totals can exceed vacancy totals

A primary classroom role can carry English, Maths and other tags. Some secondary ads also use broad tags. Each advertisement counts once per tag, so these bars overlap and do not measure specialist positions or the number of teachers being hired.

In this scope: English 2924 + Maths 2873 − tagged with both 2604 = 3193 distinct ads with either tag.
