1) The document analyzes data from the 2018 Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) to provide insights into teacher and school preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic from primary to upper secondary education.
2) It finds that teachers' access to information and communication technology (ICT) training varies significantly across countries and is generally lower for experienced versus novice teachers.
3) Collaboration and collegiality tend to decrease with higher education levels, though formal collaboration can boost teachers' self-efficacy in upper secondary.
4) Supporting student diversity and special needs is a priority in primary education, but teaching students with special needs is a relatively high stressor for these teachers.

Teachers can shape their students' educational careers. Research shows that children taught by different teachers often experience very different educational outcomes. This begs the questions: how are teachers assigned to schools in different countries? And to what extent do students from different backgrounds have access to good teachers?
Andreas Schleicher presents the latest OECD TALIS analysis that shows how teachers with different characteristics and practices tend to concentrate in different schools, and how much access students with different socio-economic backgrounds have to good teachers. He then explores how we can change education policy to distribute strong teachers more fairly.

Japanese consumers’ behaviors and finances are gradually recovering to normal, though their responses indicate a slight increase in pessimism. The long-lasting impact of COVID-19 is prolonging Japanese consumers’ intent to stay conservative about spending across categories. In a further sign of cautiousness, the trend of shrinking pessimism over the past few years reversed for the first time. Meanwhile, people’s demand for travel is rising, considering the next seasonal vacations.

China metaverse report by daxue consulting and ayo consultingDaxue Consulting
In 2021, the Chinese government set Metaverse technology development as an objective for the country’s economic growth. With government incentives and a strong interest from Chinese consumers, Chinese tech giants have aggressively invested in Metaverse technology and applications ever since. VR enhanced gaming is of course one of those applications, but those technologies apply far beyond the world of video games. From virtual try-ons in retail stores to marketing campaigns based on metahuman influencers, Chinese firms are already using tomorrow’s Metaverse technologies to create ever increasingly engaging consumer experiences.
In this report made in collaboration with AYO Consulting, you will find an analysis of China’s metaverse and the various applications of its technology in retail.

Trends Shaping Education 2022 by Andreas SchleicherEduSkills OECD
Did you ever wonder what the impact of climate change will be on our educational institutions in the next decade? What does it mean for schools that our societies are becoming more individualistic and diverse?
Trends Shaping Education is a triennial report examining major economic, political, social and technological trends affecting education. While the trends are robust, the questions raised in this book are suggestive, and aim to inform strategic thinking and stimulate reflection on the challenges facing education.
This 2022 edition covers a rich array of topics related to economic growth, living and working, knowledge and power, identity and belonging and our physical world and human bodies and interactions. It includes a specific focus on the impact of COVID‑19 on global trends, and new futures thinking sections inviting readers to reflect on how the future might differ from our current expectations.
Trends Shaping Education is designed to give policy makers, researchers, educational leaders, administrators and teachers a robust, non-specialist source of international comparative trends shaping education, whether in schools, universities or in programmes for older adults. It will also be of interest to students and the wider public, including parents.

Two years into the pandemic: How education systems have coped with the second year of COVID
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused massive disruptions to the learning of students at all levels of education. Although the availability of vaccines has improved the situation in most OECD countries, the school year 2021/22 was still marked by – sometimes severe – restriction to regular teaching and learning activities.
The OECD – in collaboration with UNESCO, UNICEF and The World Bank – has been monitoring the situation across countries and is collecting data on how each education system is responding to the crisis, from school closures and remote learning to remedial measures. The latest round of data collection covers the impact of COVID-19 during the school year 2021/22 and the recovery policies implemented by countries during this period.
This presentation show the findings from a survey of more than 30 OECD education systems.

Moving up into upper secondary by Hannah Kitchen - OECD Education Webinar 23N...EduSkills OECD
Hannah Kitchen, Project Leader of Above and Beyond: Transitions in Upper Secondary Project at the OECD presents at the webinar Moving up into upper secondary on the 23 November 2023
In an uncertain and volatile international context characterised by competing priorities for public spending, pressure is mounting for policy makers to enhance the efficiency of public spending in all sectors, including education. There is no question that there is a strong economic and social case for continued public investments in education, so the dilemma is not on whether or not to invest in education, but rather on how to make the most of this investment and foster a “Value for money”.
Policy makers need to make smarter investment in education. They need to foster equal opportunities and quality outcomes, and the good news is that the pursuit of efficiency and equity in education can work together through smart investments in four areas. Policy makers also need to carefully design funding mechanisms, pay attention to budget planning, and build a culture of systematic evaluation in education to ensure alignment with education objectives, transparency, accountability and capacity building.
We discuss the many benefits that education brings to economies and societies, but also strategies that can help policy makers make smarter investment in education in order to reap its full benefits.

TALIS 2018 - Teacher professionalism in the face of COVID-19 (London, 23 Marc...EduSkills OECD
The world is currently facing a health pandemic and sanitary crisis without precedent in our recent history.
This has affected the normal functioning of education systems worldwide. Nearly all of the 48 countries and economies participating in TALIS are now facing mass and prolonged school closures on all or significant parts of their territory, and UNESCO estimates that 1.25 billion learners are impacted worldwide – i.e. nearly 73% of total enrolments.
This is a major external shock on the operations of our schools and the work of our teachers, who have had to move to distance and digital education offerings within a few days. It is also a major shock and challenge for parents who have been turned into home-schoolers overnight, with no training for this!
This is an odd timing to present the findings of a report depicting the functioning of schools and the work of teachers “before Covid-19”. And although there are lots of interesting things in this report, this is not a priority for today.
Today, I would like to reflect instead on how school and teachers can adapt to these dire circumstances and carry forward their teaching.
Today, I would like to focus on TALIS findings that can help educational systems as they deal with the crisis, and think forward in working out possible strategies to cope with these circumstances.
Today, I would like to convey hope that we can count on teachers to rise to the challenges.

Implementing Highly Effective Teacher Policy and Practice - 2015 Internation...EduSkills OECD
Presentation by Andreas Schleicher - Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills, OECD.
Successful education systems are those that promote leadership at all levels, thereby encouraging teachers and principals, regardless of the formal positions they occupy, to lead innovation in the classroom, the school and the system as a whole. This report summarises evidence from the OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey and the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment that underpins the three themes of the 2015 International Summit on the Teaching Profession: school leadership, teachers’ self-efficacy and innovation in education. It also offers examples from around the world of how some schools are introducing innovative ways of teaching and learning to better equip students with the skills they need to participate fully in 21st-century global economies.

What can schools do to develop positive, high-achieving students? Insights fr...EduSkills OECD
The work of teachers matters in many different ways. Not only do they provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the labour market, but they also help develop the social-emotional skills that are vital for students’ personal development and for their active citizenship. But how do teachers best achieve this?
By linking 2018 data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) with evidence from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) – known as the TALIS-PISA link – a new OECD report identifies the teacher and school factors that matter most for student achievement and social-emotional development.
In this presentation, OECD Director for Education and Skills Andreas Schleicher unveils the new findings and looks at the implications for policy makers, students and teachers across the world.

Do teachers spend more time on actual teaching and learning in a typical lesson compared to previous years? Do they feel prepared to teach when they start teaching? What sort of continuous professional development programmes do they participate in and how does it impact their practice? This report looks first at how teachers apply their knowledge and skills in the classroom in the form of teaching practices, with an accompanying assessment of the demographic makeup of those classrooms and the school climate to provide context on learning environments. The volume then assesses the ways in which teachers acquired their knowledge and skills during their early education and training, as well as the steps they take to develop them through continuous professional development over the course of their career. Based on the voice of teachers and school leaders, the report offers a series of policy orientations to help strengthen the knowledge and skills of the teaching workforce to support its professionalism.The OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the largest international survey asking teachers and school leaders about their working conditions and learning environments, and provides a barometer of the profession every five years. Results from the 2018 cycle explore and examine the various dimensions of teacher and school leader professionalism across education systems.

Vocational education and training (VET) plays a central role in preparing young people for work, developing the skills of adults and responding to the labour-market needs of the economy. Teachers and leaders in VET can have an immediate and positive influence on learners’ skills, employability and career development. However, when compared to general academic programmes, there is limited evidence on the characteristics of teachers and institutional leaders in VET and the policies and practices of attracting and preparing them. VET teachers require a mix of pedagogical skills and occupational knowledge and experience, and need to keep these up to date to reflect changing skill needs in the labour market and evolving teaching and learning environments. This report fills the knowledge gap on teachers and leaders in VET, and produces new insights into what strategies and policies can help develop and maintain a well-prepared workforce. It zooms in on VET teacher shortages; strategies for attracting and retaining teachers; initial training and professional development opportunities for teachers; the use of innovative technologies and pedagogical strategies; and the important role of institutional leaders and strategies for better preparing and supporting them

Measuring COVID-19’s impact on vocational education and trainingEduSkills OECD
Widespread school closures made headlines across the world during the pandemic, with over 1 billion of students experiencing disruptions to their schooling. The vocational education and training (VET) sector has faced particular challenges during the crisis, most notably the fact that the digital learning environments that most education institutions had to rely on during closures don’t work as well for practice-oriented learning – a core component of VET instruction – as they do for academic learning.
The OECD has collected comparative statistics and policy information across a number of education systems to track developments throughout the pandemic, including the impact on the vocational education and training sector. Andreas Schleicher the results of this analysis and where the VET sector finds itself in these difficult times.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

27. Gender diversity in the teaching body
• Diversity and inclusion is not merely a student issue, since the diversity of
teachers also matters for students’ learning. Previous TALIS research has
shown students are more likely to be influenced by a teacher of the same
gender as themselves than one of the opposite gender.
• Teacher diversity can also contribute to promoting positive gender
identities and challenging gender stereotypes. Recent conversations have
tried to promote more involvement of male teachers, particularly in
primary education, as the proportion of female teachers at this level is
significantly higher than at other levels. The opposite is also true where
female teachers seem to be underrepresented in certain educational
areas, such as STEM and VET.

38. • Technology should be seen as a tool to improve student learning
rather than an end in itself.
– Training should amplify great teaching and empower teachers to
become better instructors by rescuing the pedagogical sense of
ICT tools.
• Generational divide between novice and experienced teachers
– Opportunity of having teachers more knowledgeable in using
technology mentor teachers who have more experience in
teaching but maybe less knowledge in ICT.
– Professional learning to encourage working collaboratively to find
ways to tailor technology to specific subjects and specific
activities within those subjects
Focus on pertinent digital resources with a
focus on pedagogical orientation
39. • Policies to promote teacher collaboration should be grounded in research to
understand the conditions that schools and teachers need to purposefully
collaborate:
– Identifying the improvement needs of teachers at the upper secondary level
can be a starting point for knowing what forms of collaboration education
systems need to promote.
• Schools have the capacity to nuance the relationship between stress and attrition by
providing nurturing working environments:
– Present opportunities for teachers to have a voice in their work environments
– Create space and time for teachers to connect and collaborate with colleagues
– Balance teachers’ work to reduce time in non-essential tasks and diminished
workload.
Build schools as nurturing hubs to reduce stress and
promote collaboration
40. • Design recruitment campaigns that are not gender blind,
emphasising that men can achieve professional growth as
teachers and women as school leaders.
• The underrepresentation of women in certain subject areas
speaks to issues rooted in the initial training of teachers. Early
and active campaigns to get female teaching students to
specialise in STEM subjects could help to break these stereotypes.
• To understand gender differences in the reported levels of stress
and intention to remain in the profession, a closer examination
should be made of the gender divide in teachers’ roles within
schools but also of the work-life balance of male and female
workers.
Be mindful about the gender balances across
education levels
41. • Targeted support offered to teachers in the early grades of primary
education through in-service training and professional learning
communities could benefit teachers who teach the youngest age
groups.
• Education systems should invest in the detection and diagnosis of
students with special needs by emphasising training for teachers in
detecting students who need to be directed to specialists for proper
diagnosis.
• Promoting innovative approaches in VET programmes could be a
boost to their quality. This could be supported by establishing
partnerships between the VET sector and industry to improve the
procurement of materials and equipment tailored to teaching and
learning needs.
Offer specialised pre- and in-service training
focusing on specific student population
Teaching professionals have had their work routines bent, disrupted and reconfigured nearly overnight due to the school closures and remote learning imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers have assumed their role as the front-line workers of the education sector.
In many countries and economies, the organisation of instruction has been adapted to allow for distance learning. During school closures in 2020, distance learning was in place in 21 out of 33 OECD countries and economies at primary level, and 25 OECD countries and economies at lower secondary level
Depending on national strategies to contain the spread of the virus, and the evolution of the pandemic, countries differed in their approaches to re-open schools . However, what is common across countries is that teachers are required to have the skills not only to operate these technologies for distance learning but also to use them with a clear pedagogical purpose.
.
There is little question at this point that the use, implementation and training of ICT is one of the most pressing issues today in education policy across all education levels.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for effective ICT use in education in school systems around the world. A positive trend is that more than 60% of teachers in primary education report having received ICT training, and this is especially clear among new teacher: around 80% of novice teachers reported receiving training in this area.
That being said, some countries show important gaps in the exposure to ICT training between their teaching cohorts. That is the case for Denmark, France, Spain and the Flemish Community of Belgium. What is interesting to observe is that for some of the countries showing the highest gap back in 2018, they also have difficulties in providing training for their teachers to face the COVID-19 crisis. According to the results of the most recent survey on the OECD responses to COVID, we see that in the case of Flemish of Belgium around half of the teachers had access to training and in France less than 25% did so. On the contrary, in the case of Turkey where a higher percentage of experienced and novice teachers had been exposed to ICT training, we see that they were able to provide training to all of teachers to face the COVID crisis. Thus, although it is positive that newer generations are being exposed to training, older generations should not be neglected as it might undermine the capacities of the teaching body as a whole.
We can also observe this generational gap in upper secondary education although to a much more smaller extent. This can be explained to a certain extent in that digital technologies are much more used by teachers in secondary education than in primary education, and thus training in this area could have been more spread out.
That being said, the proportion of teachers reporting a need for training in ICT is slightly higher in primary education in comparison to lower secondary (23% in primary in contrast to 20% in lower secondary), which is the case for 8 out the 13 countries with available data. We need to dig deeper into these differences but the results seem to hint that ICT resources have much room for expansion in primary education.
The use of technology in teaching not only relies on the development of digital skills of qualified and knowledgeable professionals but also on the availability of adequate infrastructure and resources. 32% of principals in primary education stated that the quality of instruction was hindered in their school by a shortage or inadequacy of digital technology for instruction and 25% said the same thing for insufficient Internet access.
It is relevant to observe the cross country variation as well. In the case of primary education a significant proportion of principals reveal a lack of resources in this area in Viet Nam, France and the Flemish Community of Belgium, while it barely seems to be an issue for the principals of Denmark and Sweden.
… A similar picture is observed for upper secondary where the contrast is between Viet Nam, Brazil and Portugal and educational systems such as Slovenia, Alberta (Canada) and Sweden.
Training and resources of ICT will be limited if there are not anchored in a school culture that supports innovation and thrives in peer-learning and school collaboration. Indeed, over the last year we have countless examples of how teachers have developed their own professional networks through the use of technology to cope with the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
TALIS findings show that even though the percentage of principals stating that their school are flexible and innovative places, the share is slightly higher in primary schools than in lower secondary schools.
More often than not, innovation requires the foundation of a good and supportive school culture that allows teachers to experiment and expand on their work. However in most countries, teachers in upper secondary education have less trust in their colleagues than teachers at lower levels of education …
Moreover, there is less incidence of teachers engaging in collaborative activities in upper secondary education compared to the incidence at the lower secondary level. Many indicators of collaborative practices are more present in primary education compared to lower secondary education, or more present in lower secondary education compared to upper secondary education.
Collaboration practices and collegial environments are aspects of teachers’ work that should not be neglected as TALIS findings show strong associations between professional collaboration for self-efficacy in instruction and self-efficacy in classroom management.
Providing individualised and pertinent learning has become a must for XXI century education systems. In that sense we must not lose sight of that both primary and upper secondary education have specific mandates to serve in regards to the needs of their students.
One of the goals of primary education is to structure and expand the children’s long term learning and well-being by facilitating transitions from pre-primary to primary education. Indeed, moving from an educational level to the other can be quite disruptive for children so dedicated care is needed for this crucial stage in the development of children .
Less than half of the teaching workforce (46%) in primary education received formal training in facilitating transitions from early childhood education (ECE) to primary education and an even less (38%) feel well prepared in this aspect. We can see that in some countries these gaps are quite pronounced such as England (UK), the Flemish Community of Belgium and Japan.
Further analyses showed that the implementation of cognitive stimulation practices (instructional activities that require students to evaluate, integrate and apply knowledge within the context of problem solving) was more frequent among the share of teachers that had training in facilitating playing than among those who did not. The results might be pointing out that training in this area might also provide teacher with elements promoting activities for the cognitive stimulation of the children. This link makes sense as both cognitive practices and play-based training share a student-centred approach. As such, the results could also reflect teachers’ more general pedagogical knowledge and broader repertoire of pedagogic approaches – of which play-based learning would be one strategy.
Here we look more in-depth to one of these particular practices such as asking students to decide on their own procedures to resolve complex tasks. The data show that just over a half of the countries with available data in primary education, teachers with training in ECE were more likely to engage in these type of practices.
In the case of upper secondary education, one of its aims is to provide a quality educational pathway for short-term programmes in the forms of vocational training. In order to achieve this, we need to pay closer attention to who are the teachers imparting VET training.
While on average, 21% of principals report that shortages in VET teachers hinder their school's capacity to provide quality instruction, TALIS data show that in most countries, more novice teachers teach in VET programmes compared to more experienced ones: 21% of novice teachers teacher in VET programmes compared to 16% of the experienced teachers. The data are pointing to the fact that teachers in VET programmes have less experience in teaching since most likely these are individuals coming from other profession. But they also suggest a potential invigorating renewal of the workforce that could benefit not just the VET sector but the school as a whole.
In addition, we see that in some contexts like Brazil, Portugal, Slovenia and Turkey, teachers who teach VET classes are more likely to engage in cognitive practices such making students work in small groups than their non-VET colleagues.
The school as a whole could benefit from the experience of VET teachers. Mentorship and professional network opportunities could be viable mechanisms through which VET teachers could share their knowledge and expertise with non‑VET teachers.
One of the greatest challenges of education systems worldwide is to promote the learning and well‑being of all. The COVID‑19 pandemic not only brought existing inequalities to the forefront but also, in some contexts, exacerbated them. Students with disabilities, from socio‑economically disadvantaged groups, or from historically disfranchised groups were less likely to be able to access the resources required for digital or hybrid lessons or to keep up with them.
While countries and economies may differ in how and when special needs are diagnosed, teachers at lower levels of education are often more likely to report higher proportions of students with special needs in their classrooms.
Plausible causes include the following:
- In primary schools, there is usually only one generalist teacher per class who is able to spend more time with each student and thus able to detect learning impediments, while these diagnoses are harder to conduct at higher levels because there are multiple subject teachers, each spending less time with particular students.
- By the time students get to higher education levels they have taken different pathways that are more adapted to their skills and interests.
- Upper secondary education is non-compulsory in several countries, and children with special needs often have left the “traditional” pathways by the time they reach this level.
- By the time students have reached lower or upper secondary education, they have acquired coping strategies to manage their special needs, which can make them less visible in some cases.
57% of teachers in primary education considers supporting students with special needs as an areas of spending priority in contrast to 47% of teachers in lower secondary.
37% of teachers in primary education report that modifying lessons for students with special needs is a source of stress in contrast to 29% in lower secondary. We see that this difference is significant for almost all countries with available data.
The stress reported by teachers could also signal that these schools do not have the necessary resources in terms of infrastructure or educational resources to support teachers in serving this population. A special financial subsidy for mainstream schools earmarked for students with special needs (e.g. for recruiting teacher aides) could improve the situation of both human and educational resources.
Inclusiveness is not only limited to teach students with special needs but also children from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. In that sense, diversity is not only to be encouraged in our students but also in our teacher body. The teaching profession is one the first professional models that our children are exposed to. Who they see as their teacher will cause a lasting impression in their notions of how individuals perform and interact in their roles.
It is well known that the teaching profession is largely a feminised profession but this is the sharpest in the lower levels of education, which is corroborated by the TALIS data. In part the results could be explained by a social stigma of having males working with children at a very young age but it is important to find ways to break these stereotypes as both boys and girls will benefit to see professionals of both genders as they grow up.
It is well known that the teaching profession is largely a feminised profession but this is the sharpest in the lower levels of education, which is corroborated by the TALIS data. From the participant countries, 78% of teachers are female in contrast to 63% in lower secondary education.
In some countries like United Arab Emirates, France and CABA (Argentina), almost 90% of teachers are female. Only in Turkey and Japan we find a proportion of female closer to gender parity (62% and 61%of teachers are female).
In part the results could be explained by a social stigma of having males working with children at a very young age but it is important to find ways to break these stereotypes as both boys and girls will benefit to see professionals of both genders as they grow up.
The problem with female representation in upper secondary is somewhat different. We see here a shortage of female teachers in those subjects related to science, technology, education and maths, which can reinforce the stereotype that “hard sciences” is a field aimed mainly at boys. 25% of female teachers in upper secondary education teach in a STEM subject compared to 31%. We see that in many countries these difference are actually non significant (e.g. Alberta, UAE, Portugal, Croatia, Turkey), which points that is possible to reach a more equitable gender allocation in these subjects.
A similar situation can be observed for VET education. 14% of female teachers in upper secondary education teach a VET subject class in contrast 19% of male teachers.
Even before the pandemic, many teachers, especially female teachers, reported being very much stressed from work.
Excessive administrative work and changing requirements from the authorities were causes of stress that have only become worse in many school systems as routines have been interrupted and numerous restrictions imposed.
Across the three levels of education “having too much administrative work” has been identified as a source of stress for almost half of the teachers. In all three levels almost half of the teacher report this as a source of stress. It is important to note some interesting cross-level variations though. For example, in the case of primary education, addressing parent or guardian concerns seem more predominant in primary education than in lower secondary, while the time spent on marking seems slightly more present in upper secondary than in lower secondary.
The level of stress should not be disregarded as an unimportant predictor for early attrition. That being said, schools have influence and capacity to retain teachers. For primary education teachers who report that the school is characterised by mutual support are less likely to state that they will leave teaching within the next five years.
And upper secondary education teachers who report that the school offer them to participate in school decisions are less likely to report they want to leave teaching within the next five years.
An important consideration when examining the well‑being of teachers is that there appears to be a gender divide. Among both primary and upper secondary teachers, a higher share of female teachers than male teachers expressed experiencing a lot of stress in their work (22% of female teachers in contrast to 19%).
In the case of upper secondary education, there is a higher share of female teachers reporting high level of stress than male.
These differences in gender across education levels might be associated with different roles and career paths, but also to issues related to work-life balance, which deserve closer scrutiny.
