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...
