Title
Teacher Retention and Mobility in Sierra Leone: What factors motivate teachers to stay at or leave schools?
Abstract
The current study is the third in a series of research studies, which aim to generate evidence that can support the MBSSE and TSC with their teacher allocation and deployment strategy. Our first study investigated teacher preferences for school choice and uncovered important considerations for teacher deployment. Following this, we investigated mobility patterns for teachers who are on the government payroll, and payroll teacher retention rates. The latter study helped us understand where teachers move to when they change schools, and also helped us identify areas with high (hot spots) and low retention rates (cold spots). The current study is explanatory in nature and aims to understand why teachers stay at or leave their schools.
