Briefings

A 2026 OECD report indicates schools face significant strain due to global teacher shortages, making it increasingly difficult to recruit, retain, and deploy qualified educators in their most needed locations. The study highlights a direct link between student performance and teacher satisfaction, suggesting that improved student outcomes are a key factor in keeping teachers engaged. This finding provides a new rationale for educational policymakers to prioritize retention strategies.

Key points

• The OECD reports that schools worldwide are under growing strain from teacher shortages, making it harder to recruit, retain, and deploy qualified teachers where they are most needed.
• The study suggests that improved student outcomes are a key factor in keeping teachers engaged, providing a new rationale for educational policymakers to prioritize retention strategies.

Context and limitations

The evidence is limited to a single OECD report from October 2026, which may not represent the full scope of global teacher shortages or the specific mechanisms linking student performance to teacher satisfaction.
