Abstract | In developing countries, teachers are often hired on a temporary basis and work in multiple schools to increase their earnings. However, the implications of these flexible contractual arrangements on the quality of K--12 education remain little explored. By using unique data from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and a cross-subject analysis with student fixed effects, this study contributes to the literature by analyzing the impact of teachers on temporary contracts and teachers who work at multiple schools at a time on student achievement. Results show that temporary teachers have a negative impact on student achievement and that such an effect is particularly stronger for low-income students. Moreover, temporary teachers are less involved in school activities and provide students with less support and feedback than teachers on permanent contracts. Findings reveal that multiple-school teachers have no significant effect on student achievement, but they are less likely to be involved in school decision making. (As Provided). |
