Purwana, Ruwiyati TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS TEACHER HIRING TEACHER DISTRIBUTION EDUCATION PLANNING TEACHER RECRUITMENT TEACHER EDUCATION The 2018 World Bank Report growing smarter: learning and equitable development in East Asia and the Pacific highlights that selecting and supporting teachers throughout their careers to allow them to focus on the classroom is one of five core factors that are driving learning. It argues that education systems perform best when they have teachers who are respected, prepared, and selected, and who advance in their careers based on merit (World Bank 2018). This aptly summarizes the importance of teachers and of equitable teacher deployment to ensuring high-quality education. The report also states that sound policies with respect to teachers are key to promoting learning, emphasizing the need to raise the selectivity of those who become teachers, provide support to new teachers, and devise ways to keep experienced teachers in the classroom. This report highlights that decentralization of decision-making to districts in Indonesia is expected to leadto improvements in teacher recruitment and deployment, which in turn is a necessary condition for improving the quality of teaching and learning. This report aims to provide concrete policy options for improving identification of the demand for teachers as well as for the allocation, recruitment, and distribution of teachers in Indonesia. It captures three review areas: (1) diagnosis of the effectiveness of existing mechanisms for identifying the need for teachers and of the teacher allocation system at the central level through discussions with key stakeholders, (2) review of good practices in hiring and distributing teachers as implemented in 13 districts in 13 provinces in Indonesia, and (3) review of international experience and good practices in recruiting and deploying teachers through desk reviews of studies undertaken in several countries. This study was conducted from October 2016 to August 2017 and used both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Information and data collection involved 156 local government representatives, 127 principals, and 170 teachers (of which 154 were civil servants and 16 were not civil servants) from 127 schools. 2019-09-17T18:44:14Z 2019-09-17T18:44:14Z 2018-08 Policy Note http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/806991568187785813/Efficient-deployment-of-teachers-a-policy-note http://hdl.handle.net/10986/32397 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Indonesia |

The 2018 World Bank Report growing
smarter: learning and equitable development in East Asia and
the Pacific highlights that selecting and supporting
teachers throughout their careers to allow them to focus on
the classroom is one of five core factors that are driving
learning. It argues that education systems perform best when
they have teachers who are respected, prepared, and
selected, and who advance in their careers based on merit
(World Bank 2018). This aptly summarizes the importance of
teachers and of equitable teacher deployment to ensuring
high-quality education. The report also states that sound
policies with respect to teachers are key to promoting
learning, emphasizing the need to raise the selectivity of
those who become teachers, provide support to new teachers,
and devise ways to keep experienced teachers in the
classroom. This report highlights that decentralization of
decision-making to districts in Indonesia is expected to
leadto improvements in teacher recruitment and deployment,
which in turn is a necessary condition for improving the
quality of teaching and learning. This report aims to
provide concrete policy options for improving identification
of the demand for teachers as well as for the allocation,
recruitment, and distribution of teachers in Indonesia. It
captures three review areas: (1) diagnosis of the
effectiveness of existing mechanisms for identifying the
need for teachers and of the teacher allocation system at
the central level through discussions with key stakeholders,
(2) review of good practices in hiring and distributing
teachers as implemented in 13 districts in 13 provinces in
Indonesia, and (3) review of international experience and
good practices in recruiting and deploying teachers through
desk reviews of studies undertaken in several countries.
This study was conducted from October 2016 to August 2017
and used both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
Information and data collection involved 156 local
government representatives, 127 principals, and 170 teachers
(of which 154 were civil servants and 16 were not civil
servants) from 127 schools. |
