The study also found that the countries with higher average salary for experienced teachers are more likely to have higher national achievement, but the national average salary for new teachers was not significantly associated with national achievement. The low rate of growth in teacher salary in the USA may lead to a high attrition rate and instability in instructional quality and students’ opportunity to learn. A comparative study of teachers’ work further revealed that US mathematics teachers are assigned to teach multiple subjects and multiple grade levels more often than are Japanese mathematics teachers, who usually teach only mathematics to only one grade level (LeTendre et al.

Only a few cross-national comparative studies examined the gap in students’ access to qualified teachers and policy and organizational contexts influencing such inequality. Akiba et al. 6 vs. 5 % based on 39 countries. Qualified teachers were defined as those who are fully certified, majored in mathematics or mathematics education, and having 3 or more years of teaching experience. Akiba and LeTendre (2009) examined teacher hiring and distribution policies in Japan, Australia, and the USA and found that teacher rotation policy in Japan (in which teachers are reassigned to different schools every 4–5 years) and strong teacher incentive policy in Australia (which provides major financial incentives to those who work in remote rural schools with the greatest teacher shortage) contribute to a smaller gap in students’ access to qualified teachers than in the USA.
