In my opinion that values will not represent the real/fair situation. That values will just fool other teachers and also yourself.

Example:
Teacher A: 1 subject, 4 activities
Teacher B: 1 subject, 4 activities
Teacher C: 2 subjects, 4 activities

So is it fair? If you see this values you will think Teacher A and B got similar fair data, while teacher C is double bad.

But if you will look into the advanced statistics you maybe will see this:
Teacher A: Physics in Group 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d
Teacher B: Physics in Group 7a, 8a, 9a, 10a
Teacher C: Sport in Group 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b

So Teacher A need to prepare in fact only 1 "subject" (build up experiments,... ), since he will just repeat it 4 times.
But Teacher B must prepare much more: He need to prepare another 3 experiments. So much more work.
And Teacher C: I don't think he prepare very much. I guess less work even if you compare with Teacher A.

So in my opinion i can't see a reason why to add those numbers into statistics. Those numbers will only delude yourself. You can see that only in the advanced statistics. I think that one should be used.
Let me know your opinion.

If I correctly understood your comment you mean that 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d are the same year, but different classes. On the other hand, 7a, 8a, 9a and 10a are different years, say, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth years respectively. And so, the same subject in different years, in fact, means completly different matters.

In this point of view you are completly right, Volker. And, this way, in fact, my suggestion can fool my coleagues.
By the way, we could think about a conditional flag to make the FET user choose whether to show it or not.

Could SOMEONE else shed some light on this?
