An Examination of Teacher Employment Policies in Turkey and Different Countries

Abstract

Teacher employment is important in terms of determining and assessing the quality of education in the educational system of a country. Policies on teacher employment are both determinants of teacher training process and affect many variables in education. Teacher employment should be assessed in the context of supply and demand balance, as is the case in all areas. The quota of teacher training institutions is determined in the direction of countries' teacher employment policies and those who select teaching as a career are directed to this profession. Inadequate balance between supply and demand and lack of cooperation between teacher-training institutions and teacher-employing institutions bring with it many problems. For this reason, there should be a strong co-operation link between teacher-training institutions and teacher-employing institutions. When the teacher training and employment processes of the countries are examined, different applications attract attention. The extent to which teachers' employment models and teacher salaries affect the quality of education is a matter that requires to be investigated. For this reason, this study aimed to examine the process of teacher employment in Turkey and some countries and to reveal the relationship between teacher employment processes and educational quality. To this end, employment models of different countries have been determined and their relations with education quality indicators have been examined. The research has reached the conclusion that teacher employment processes and teacher salaries are important and affect the educational quality. Therefore, the authors of this research thinks that it is necessary to rearrange the teacher education policies in our country to improve the quality of education.
