This research shows a depiction of the first years of working career of school teachers, using data from graduates’ records, and the official teacher registration of the Ministry of Education. Some of the findings of this research stand on the fact that most of the Education Careers Graduates join to the labor market as teachers (79%), and from this group 65% do it in a permanent way. The teaching career attracts and retains mainly women and teachers from a lower social class. Meanwhile, teachers with the best academic performance are more likely to be employed permanently instead to be employed temporarily. And for graduates from non-traditional institutions and low years of accreditation is more likely not to have access to schools than graduates of traditional institutions, but when this first group achieved to get into the classroom, they probably to stay on it. Finally, it seems this differences are not enough to keep away the best candidates from schools; so it would not be a lost opportunity for Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in terms of the efforts made for attracting the best to the teaching profession. |
