World Bank Working Paper; No. 99 |
| description |
This working paper is based on country
case studies of Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Madagascar,
Tanzania, and Uganda, and an extensive literature review. In
many parts of Africa, the demand for secondary teachers
substantially exceeds the supply, due to factors such as
secondary teacher attrition, bottlenecks in the teacher
preparation system, and perceived unattractive conditions of
service. Few countries have strong policies, strategies, and
programs for recruiting able secondary school graduates to
secondary teaching. The paper suggests several critical and
promising areas for improvement in the quality of secondary
teachers through new approaches to recruitment; pre-service
and in-service teacher development; and improvements in the
deployment, utilization, compensation, and conditions of
service for teachers. |
