Final report. Volume 2
Publication metadata
The report is composed of two volumes. The first volume, primarily intended for policy-makers, presents the main findings of the study and recommendations drawn from these findings. Following the executive summary and the introduction, chapter 1 presents an overview of the policy measures implemented to attract qualified teachers in the European countries. In chapter 2 the main results of the online survey are described and analysed providing an important and new source of information. Chapter 3 presents, firstly, the main findings of the study (from the desk-based research and analysis based on existing sources as well as the field work undertaken through the online survey, interviews and workshops) and, secondly, the policy recommendations. The second volume provides a much more detailed description of the methodology of the study and its results. Chapter 1 describes the main methodological issues, such as the difficulty to give an operational definition of attractiveness, the accessibility to information and data, the design and dissemination of the online survey, the implementation of interviews and workshops. Chapter 2 focuses on the issue of teacher shortages in European countries. Based on the rare data available in the different countries as well as the interviews with high-level decision-makers in sixteen of them, an assessment has been made of the importance of the shortage of qualified teachers in each country. Then, Chapter 3 explores available data and opinions about teachers’ salaries and working conditions that are deemed as important factors of attractiveness in the literature and by the respondents to the online questionnaire. Chapter 4 deals with the analysis of the data concerning initial teacher education and recruitment. It is followed in Chapter 5 by an analysis of data gathered on support and guidance to newly qualified teachers as well as continuing professional development and mobility. Chapter 6 addresses the issues of the prestige of the profession and the social status of teachers. Chapter 7 presents monographs of each country or education system under scrutiny. This second volume also includes the full list of references used for this study and appendices that present methodological issues related to the field work and some deeper analysis of the online questionnaire results.
