And in some countries, such as Ghana and Sierra Leone, both training and qualifications are low. The scarcity of teacher preparedness means that in some countries there are, on average, up to a hundred students per qualified teacher. Whether instructors are trained and qualified to teach depends, to a great extent, on the policies and incentives in place. With this in mind, the Systems Approach for Better Education Results SABER ranks countries based on whether they have specific policies aimed at preparing teachers with training and experience.
In some countries, teachers face little opportunities for professional development. In addition to training and qualifications, another way to assess teacher performance is to monitor how teachers work. For example, to monitor absenteeism. Absenteeism is not only about teachers being absent from school.

The way education systems select, recruit, train and deploy teachers matters. As the following chart shows, teacher absenteeism is an important problem in many countries. In practical terms, teacher absenteeism translates into lost teaching time. Salaries of teachers. How does teacher quality affect student performance?
