McKinsey and Company will hold a live webinar to discuss the report of their recent study titled 'Closing the Talent Gap: Attracting and Retaining Top Third Graduates to a Career in Teaching.'
Attracting more young people with stronger academic backgrounds to teaching has received comparatively little attention.
The researchers review the experiences of the top-performing schooling systems in the world — Singapore, Finland, and South Korea.
These countries recruit, develop, and retain the leading academic talent as one of their central education strategies, and they have achieved extraordinary results.
'Top performing nations recruit 100% of teachers from the top third.'
In the United States 23 percent of new teachers come from the top third, and 14 percent in high poverty schools.
The report asks what it would take to emulate nations that pursue this strategy if the United States decided it was worthwhile.
