This survey is aimed at examining the manner in which school and university authorities have responded to the need for greater numbers of teachers occasioned by the continuous growth in school enrollments in the 22 member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The first part of the study provides a statistical comparison of the growth in numbers of pupils and teachers and examines various means used to attract and keep more teachers in the educational system. In this section are also described the indicators of teacher shortages, such as relaxation of qualification requirements, more intensive utilization of existing staff, and shortages in particular subject areas. In the second part of the study, the author describes technical supply and demand. A number of conclusions are drawn regarding the teacher training, recruitment, and utilization relationship of the future.
