  • TALIS 2024: The State of Teaching
  • Teachers are aging in many education systems. While the average age of teachers is around 45 years old, on average across OECD education systems, more than one out of two teachers are 50 or older in Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Portugal.
  • Prior non-teaching work experience is more and more common for teachers. In around half of the education systems, at least one out of two teachers have prior non-teaching work experience.
  • Around one in three teachers report having used artificial intelligence (AI) in their work, on average across OECD education systems. Around 75% of teachers in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates use AI in their work, whereas fewer than 20% of teachers do so in France and Japan.
  • Many teachers – especially female and experienced teachers – report meeting key lesson aims, though supporting students' social and emotional learning remains challenging.
  • The large majority of teachers are satisfied with their profession, which indicates that most teachers find meaning and personal fulfilment in their work. Almost nine in ten teachers report that, on average across OECD education systems, they are satisfied with their jobs overall.
  • Administrative workload remains a considerable demand for teachers. On average across OECD education systems, about half of teachers report excessive administrative work as a source of work-related stress, particularly those with more than ten years of experience.
  • Discipline and behaviour issues as sources of stress are important predictors of teachers’ fulfilment of their lesson aims, their well-being, job satisfaction and their intention to leave teaching. About one in five teachers report experiencing significant disruptive noise and disorder in their classrooms, on average across OECD education systems, and the share of time spent on maintaining discipline has increased in almost all education systems since 2018.
  • Mentoring is gaining popularity. On average across OECD education systems, about one in four novice teachers (teachers with up to five years of teaching experience) has an assigned mentor.
  • While nearly all teachers participate in continuous professional learning, not all of them find that doing so has a positive impact on their teaching. Just 55% of teachers report that the professional learning activities they participated in during the 12 months preceding the survey had a positive impact on their teaching, on average across OECD education systems.
  • Teachers are spending more time working together compared to 2018. Full-time teachers report spending around 3 hours per week participating in teamwork and dialogue with colleagues on average across OECD education systems. Teachers who report good professional relationships with principals, other teachers, parents and guardians, and students tend to report higher well-being and job satisfaction.
  • Teachers’ satisfaction with their terms of employment (including salary) has increased in many education systems since 2018. In Denmark, Iceland and Kazakhstan, the share of teachers being satisfied with their terms of employment (barring salaries) has increased by more than 20 percentage points. Salary satisfaction has risen by the same margin in Bulgaria, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Romania and Shanghai (China).

Data from New Zealand only represent respondents included in the sample and not the population targeted by the survey.

    Note: These values should be interpreted with care since they are influenced by countries' specific contexts and trade-offs. In education, there is often no simple most- or least-efficient model. For instance, the share of private expenditure in education must be read against other measures designed to mitigate inequities, such as loans and grants; longer learning time is an opportunity to convey more and better content to students, but may hinder investments in other important areas. If you want further information on the nature of different variables, please take the time to read the analysis and contextual information, available at the website for each publication.
    The OECD average includes only OECD countries which are listed here: http://www.oecd.org/about/membersandpartners/

    Reference years displayed in the Education GPS correspond to the most common year of reference among countries for which data is available on each variable. Data for the latest available year is preferred and some countries may have provided data refering to a more recent or late year. To know more about possible exceptions on data please click on the "Download Indicator" link on each variable. When a year of reference corresponds to a school year encompassing two years, the reference reads as follows: 2025 for school year 2024/2025.

    *TALIS averages are based on all countries participating in the TALIS survey, including partner countries and economies. This explains the difference between the OECD average and the TALIS average. Data from the TALIS survey and Education at a Glance (EAG) may differ. See TALIS technical report and Education at a Glance sources methodologies and technical notes for more details about the data collections.
