TEACHER ATTRITION IN THE MUNICIPAL EDUCATION SYSTEM OF RIO DE JANEIRO1 1 This work was carried out with the support of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) - Brazil (CAPES) - Funding Code 001.

ABSTRACT:

Teacher retention is a challenge faced by several education systems worldwide, and has impacts for school systems, schools, and students. This article aimed to investigate the factors associated with teacher attrition in the municipal system of Rio de Janeiro. It used databases from the Municipal Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro (SME-RJ) and the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP) that allowed to follow, between 2012 and 2016, the trajectory of 3594 teachers who took office between 2009 and 2011. The analyses used logistic regression models to estimate the probability of the teacher leaving the system. The results indicate that younger and more highly educated teachers are more likely to leave the system. In addition, the profile of the student body, the experience of changing schools, and the pressures of a school accountability policy, which was in force during the period when the research was carried out, were also factors associated with the probability of the teacher leaving the system
