Teacher Retention and Turnover: Exploring the Factors that Influence Teacher Decision-Making

Abstract

The education system has a serious challenge when teachers leave their positions or are not replaced quickly enough. This might have a negative effect on the students' learning outcomes. Salary and benefits, working conditions, school culture, peer support, teacher-to-teacher collaboration, and individual and family circumstances are only few of the elements that might affect teacher retention and turnover. To combat the problem of teacher attrition and turnover and give educators the resources they need to do their jobs well, a thorough understanding of these variables is crucial. In sum, retaining and replacing teachers is a difficult problem that must be worked on constantly to improve if all children are to have equal access to a good education.
