Mobility of School Teachers in the European Union

This study undertakes a quantitative and qualitative analysis of teacher mobility across the European Union Member States where information exists. It explores the relative benefits, costs, strengths and weaknesses of the various mobility programmes. On the basis of case studies the authors identify mobility practices that have been successful but also look at areas where some improvements may be made. The study provides policy recommendations for European, national and school decision-making levels that might be useful to improve the design and the implementation of mobility programmes.
