AB - This report is one of several on the research project on the Impact of GIS-Supported Teacher Allocation in Sierra Leone. Recent studies from this series have shown that being put on the government payroll can incentivise teachers to relocate to remote areas of the country. There is a concern, however, that being put on the payroll does not necessarily ensure the retention of teachers in these areas and that teachers will soon move to locations they consider more favourable. As there is no data on teacher mobility patterns and schools’ teacher retention rates, policies tend to be based on anecdotal evidence.
This paper aims to fill this evidence gap by exploring teachers’ school-to-school mobility trends and retention rates using the Annual School Census (ASC) data from 2015 to 2021. Using data on teachers’ individual characteristics, as well as geospatial location data of each school, the paper explores whether mobility patterns vary by teachers’ gender or qualifications and whether the teaching workforce is urbanising. While studies have looked at teacher retention, this study is the first in a low-income country to use school census data to create a panel dataset to study teachers’ movements and school retention rates over time.
Keywords: teacher mobility; teacher retention rates; mobility patterns; teacher deployment; Sierra Leone; education
