| Summary: | The effective management of
            Indonesia's teaching force is of crucial importance to
            the development of the country's educational system.
            The study aimed to investigate the policies and practices
            governing teacher employment and deployment in primary and
            junior secondary schools. The major issues investigated
            included the distribution of teachers, the staffing of
            remote schools, teachers' workloads, the overall supply
            of teachers, teacher remuneration and teacher quality. A
            highly participatory case-study approach was used and
            included a field survey of 385 schools (276 primaries, 70
            junior secondary and 39 senior secondary) in 12 sampled
            districts/municipalities. In addition, a two-day workshop,
            involving representatives from all participating districts,
            was held to analyze the survey results and to determine
            policy implications. |
