Teacher Motivation in Southeast Asia

The Teacher Motivation Study across Southeast Asia examines the factors that encourage teachers to remain in the profession amid regional and global concerns on teacher shortages. Conducted across 10 Southeast Asian countries, the study explores how purpose, passion for teaching, professional growth, respect, well-being, school environment, compensation, and government policies shape teacher retention. Its findings provide evidence-based insights to help education leaders and policymakers strengthen support systems for teachers and sustain a motivated teaching workforce.
