Resumo:How to recruit enough teachers and stop them quitting the profession are challenges facing all countries. While the varied situations analysed in this dossier reveal differences linked to social and historical contexts, constants also emerge pointing to critical factors. Recurring themes are the recognition of the profession, working conditions, how jobs are allocated and the quality of training. Comparing the policies implemented to improve recruitment raises three important issues: the type of commitment offered to teachers, the effectiveness of training schemes, and the ability to boost and enhance career development. But beyond the difficulty in attracting people to the teaching profession, what is perhaps also at stake is the ability of contemporary societies to make the teaching mission itself attractive.
