Influence of Teacher Retention Management Practices on the Educational Outcome of High School Students
Abstract
There is a growing global crisis with teacher retention, where there is extremely high teacher turnover/ low teacher retention in most high schools. This article makes significant advancements in educational management and planning by assessing the relationship between teacher retention and educational outcomes worldwide. The educational outcome comprises students’ test scores, transition rates, and cohort wastages. On the other hand, teacher retention is classified into annual teacher retention, specific subject teacher retention, Course duration teacher retention, and administrative teacher retention. The majority of the sources and data gathered indicate that low teacher retention/high turnover results in low educational outcomes. The specific subject teacher retention and annual teacher retention have the most adverse impacts, while the course duration and administrative teacher retention have a mild impact on educational outcomes
