While documenting many areas of concern about teachers and teaching, the report also provides positive examples of where policies are making a difference. It spotlights countries where teachers' social standing is high, and where there are more qualified applicants than vacant posts. Even in countries where shortages have been a concern, there are recent signs of increased interest in teaching, and policy initiatives appear to be taking effect. At a time when many countries are facing an ageing teaching workforce and having trouble attracting new recruits, this book provides insights into how governments can successfully deal with these issues Notes "Phillip McKenzie and Paulo Santiago were responsible for ... the preparation of this report"--Foreword Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on print version record Subject Teachers -- Supply and demand -- OECD countries Teachers -- Education -- OECD countries Teachers -- Training of -- OECD countries Form Electronic book Author McKenzie, Phillip, 1950- Santiago, Paulo Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ISBN 1280357614 9781280357619 9789264018044 (PDF) 9264018042
