„Evidence from TALIS 2018 suggests that the great majority of serving teachers were motivated by a strong commitment to public service and the social impact of teaching. When asked about their decision to become a teacher, across the OECD, 92 % of lower secondary teachers reported that it was important to them to influence the development of children and young people and 88 % said they were motivated by the profession’s contribution to society.“
