PROPOSAL FOR A TEACHER TURNOVER INDICATOR IN BASIC EDUCATIONThis paper proposes a measure for teacher turnover in basic education, considering the school as an analysis unit. Potentially explanatory variables such as type of providers (public and private institutions, level of education, and employment relationship were considered. The empirical part was based on microdata from the 2016 and 2017 School Census (Inep, 2017, 2018) and focused on the municipality of Curitiba-PR. The results suggest that turnover in 2017 was 34.4%. At the school level, the median rate was 55.4% in the state government system, 22.2% in the local government system, and 16.5% in the federal network. Regarding private schools, the highest median was among the government-dependent institutions (33.3%). The results reiterate the phenomenon as a relevant issue for the educational policy agenda and the management of public school systems.

Notes: (1) Teachers registered as “educational assistant/assistant” in the 2013 to 2015 School Censuses were included in this analysis given their frequent occurrence on the occasion of the “educator” career.(2) The turnover rate was calculated by the school. The values presented are the median rate for schools in each category in the analyzed years.
