Who wants to become a teacher?
Across OECD countries, 5% of students expect to work as teachers: 3% of boys and 6% of girls.
The academic profile of students who expect to work as teachers varies, but in many OECD countries,students who expect to work as teachers have poorer mathematics and reading skills than other ambitious students who expect to work as professionals but not as teachers.
PISA shows that, on average, a higher percentage of students expects to work as teachers in countries where teachers’ salaries are higher.
