The quality of Australia's schooling system is a key determinant of skills in the economy, affecting economic growth, unemployment and inequality. With 3 percent of GDP currently devoted to primary and secondary education, improving educational productivity could lead to enormous gains. International evidence suggests that a promising approach to improving our education system is to boost teacher quality, yet we currently know little about the differences between the best and worst teachers. With large numbers of teachers due to retire in the next decade, now is an ideal time to learn more about teacher quality, and implement policies to ensure that the calibre of the teaching profession is as good as it can be.

澳大利亚教育体系的质量是经济技能的关键决定因素，影响着经济增长、失业和不平等。由于目前国内生产总值的3%用于中小学教育，提高教育生产率可能会带来巨大的收益。国际证据表明，提高教师质量是改善教育体系的一个有希望的方法，但我们目前对最好和最差教师之间的差异知之甚少。由于未来十年将有大量教师退休，现在是更多地了解教师素质，并实施政策以确保教师职业水平尽可能高的理想时机。
