  • What Are the Problems with Teacher Supply
    Teaching and Teacher Education, 2006
    Co-Authors: Patrick White, Stephen Gorard, Beng Huat See
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper is based on our studies of Teacher recruitment and retention. Using official statistics from a variety of secondary sources, it builds on our previous work on the changing demand for Teachers by exploring issues of Teacher Supply in the UK. Our findings suggest there is no overall shortage of applicants to initial Teacher education and training (ITET), and the number of applicants and places are now higher than at any time since 1982. There were, however, almost as many unsuccessful as successful applicants to ITET courses, despite some recruitment targets not being met. Furthermore, it was not clear how these targets were set and whether they included an estimate of trainee attrition and/or the number of successful trainees expected to enter the teaching profession. There were imbalances in the Supply of Teachers, with many more female than male trainees. The majority of trainees were in their twenties, with the chances of being offered a training place decreasing with age, despite the uneven age profile of the contemporary teaching profession. There are important structural limitations to Teacher Supply, particularly in relation to the number of graduates in maths and science subjects. Improving Teacher recruitment in these areas is, thus, dependent on increasing the number of students continuing to study these subjects in post-sixteen and higher education.

  • review of Teacher recruitment Supply and retention in wales
    2003
    Co-Authors: Patrick White, Stephen Gorard, Beng Huat See, Karen S Roberts
    Abstract:

    The brief for this project was to complete "a detailed desk based study of existing secondary sources on Teacher recruitment and retention" (GTCW, 2002, p. 8) comprising two related research activities: a search of existing literature in the area and the collection and analysis of relevant secondary data. Where possible, the project was also to make recommendations for policy, data collection and further research. The report has the following structure: 1. Sources of information on Teacher Supply 2. The demand for Teachers 3. Teacher recruitment and retention 4. Implications for policy 5. Recommendations for further research 6. References used in the text Appendix A: Limitations of, and problems with, the available data

  • Chapter 19 Teacher Supply
    Handbook of the Economics of Education, 2006
    Co-Authors: Peter Dolton
    Abstract:

    Abstract This chapter presents an overview of economic models of Teacher Supply and explains the modeling implications for both cross-section and time series econometric modeling. Specifically the literature on the determinants of Teacher recruitment, turnover, mobility and re-entry into the profession are reviewed. It reviews the empirical evidence from the US, the UK on the labor Supply of Teachers and assesses the variation in Teacher's real pay across in aggregate across 35 countries in the world. It also provides suggests for fruitful areas of future research.

  • The Determinants Of Teacher Supply: Time Series Evidence For The UK, 1962-2001
    2004
    Co-Authors: Tsung Ping Chung, Peter Dolton, Andrew Tremayne
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the determinants of aggregate Teacher Supply in the UK using time series data. Teacher Supply is measured by: the wastage rate, i.e. the rate of Teachers leaving the teaching market; the change in the pool of inactive Teachers; and the proportion of graduates entering initial Teacher training programmes. We model the proportion of graduates enrolling for initial Teacher training programmes by 4 major faculty groupings: Social Science; Arts; Pure Science; and Applied Science. The results show unemployment and relative wages to be important determinants of Teacher Supply. Another aspect found to be important for prospective Teachers is the security of a teaching position on graduating from their training programmes.

  • The Economics of UK Teacher Supply: The Graduate's Decision
    The Economic Journal, 1990
    Co-Authors: Peter Dolton
    Abstract:

    The problem of Teacher Supply in the United Kingdom has generated considerable concern recently. This paper studies a large cohort of graduates and their decision whether to become Teachers or not. A full structure model of the individual's decision is estimated, which corrects for possible sample selection bias and models endogenously the role of relative earnings. The findings provide support for the estimation procedure used and attest to the importance of relative pay in the individual graduate's career decision. Copyright 1990 by Royal Economic Society.
