Abstract
SEVILLANO MONJE, Verónica and SANCHEZ LISSEN, Encarnación. The path to a teaching career in Spain. The secrets of successful teacher training in Finland and Singapore. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2021, vol.50, n.200, pp.105-127. Epub Mar 22, 2022. ISSN 0185-2760. https://doi.org/10.36857/resu.2021.200.1892.
Throughout this article, we analyze various indicators associated with the initial training of teachers, their incorporation into the teaching career and the working conditions of this group. We use a comparative methodology applied to the countries of Finland, Singapore and Spain. After the analysis of the results, we find remarkable coincidences between Finland and Singapore and greater differences with Spain. The conclusion is that the Spanish training system needs to increase the entry requirements for initial teacher training applicants. Among other things, this strategy would be more cost-effective, as it would help ensure a better balance between the number of students who start teacher training programmes and the available vacancies.
