OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS)

OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS)

New data on conditions affecting teaching in schools

A new OECD report out 16 June 2009 will provide the first internationally comparable data on conditions affecting teachers in schools based on the findings of the OECD’s survey in 23 participating countries.

The findings of the survey will be made public at press conferences in Mexico, with OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría, and Brussels, with OECD Deputy Secretary-General Aart De Geus, on Tuesday 16 June.


"Never before have we had the opportunity to gain such an understanding of the teaching and learning environment inside schools and how these contrast between and within countries."
Barbara Ischinger OECD Director of Education
