While the importance of good teaching
may be intuitively obvious, only over the past decade has
education research begun to quantify the high economic
stakes around teacher quality. In a world where the goals of
national education systems are being transformed, from a
focus on the transmission of facts and memorization to a
focus on student competencies for critical thinking, problem
solving and lifelong learning the demands on teachers are
more complex than ever. Governments across the world have
put teacher quality and teacher performance under increasing
scrutiny. The Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region
is no exception to these trends; indeed, in some key areas
of teacher policy, the region is at the vanguard of global
reform experience. The study aims to benchmark the current
performance of LAC s teachers and identify key issues. It
shares emerging evidence on important reforms of teacher
policy being implemented in Lac countries. The study also
analyzes the political room for maneuver for further reform
in Lac. They focus on teachers in basic education
(preschools, primary and secondary education) because the
quantitative and qualitative challenges of producing
effective teachers at these levels differ in key ways from
university-level education, which has been addressed in
other recent World Bank publications. |
