Here, we found that several teachers wanted to relocate to areas where they could access better working conditions, more transportation options, and a wider range of things to do in their free time.McBurnie, ChrisGodwin, KatieBernard-Jones, LydiaHaßler, Björn2022-05-13T19:52:45+00:00en-USWhen teachers are asked to deploy other teachers, we learn a lot about teacher preferencesDesigning Teacher Learning Circles for Improved Foundational Numeracy Outcomes: Findings from the National Numeracy Programme in Malawihttps://docs.edtechhub.org/lib/2AN8XVIA2023-01-25T11:52:44Z2024-03-27T10:12:39ZAn output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.orgCorrea de Oliveira, AndréKanyoza, CharityBoilo, VioletChidothi, EmmanuelKadzamira, EsmeMpoola, DorothyMcBurnie, ChrisPhiri, MagretHaßler, BjörnForthcomingenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalDesigning Teacher Learning Circles for Improved Foundational Numeracy Outcomes: Findings from the National Numeracy Programme in MalawiSierra Leone TCPD Sandbox Reporthttps://docs.edtechhub.org/lib/9NR4RZ982022-10-17T18:08:34Z2024-03-22T12:02:44ZAn output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.orgTanweer, RabiaPlaut, DanielMcBurnie, ChrisForthcomingenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalSierra Leone TCPD Sandbox Report‘Tich Mi Ar Tich Dem’: Designing a low-cost and scalable teacher professional development in Sierra Leonehttps://docs.edtechhub.org/lib/FBHX876D2022-09-13T17:01:42Z2024-03-26T16:40:46ZReading Time: 4 minutes Over the past two decades, Sierra Leone has faced a series of shocks: a civil war, landslides, Ebola, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These shocks have aggravated the learning crisis that the country’s education system faces—and dramatically increased the pressure on teachers to deliver high-quality support to children.

The education workforce is the most important school-level determinant of student learning. In Sierra Leone, the pupil-to-qualified-teacher ratio rises from 44:1 for schools in urban centres to 76:1 for schools in rural areas. Meanwhile, an average of a quarter of the workforce is absent from school on any given day.
This informal literature review provides a summary of the most recent literature on teacher absenteeism, covering a wide range of low- and middle-income countries, including Sierra Leone, where the larger study is being undertaken. For the purposes of this review, we have focused on lessons learnt from sub-Saharan African studies that share similar education contexts and challenges as Sierra Leone. Based on the review, we hypothesise that distance from a teacher’s home to their school and their ability to choose which school they would like to work in impact teacher motivation, school attendance, and time on task. Efficient teacher allocation could improve each of these outcome estimates.
