Abstract

This article brings to light the difficulties rural schools in developing countries like Pakistan have in recruiting and retaining qualified teaching staff. Challenges with student retention continue to be a problem in rural schools, despite the fact that educational authorities have devised policies and measures to address the problem. This article presents an alternate, multifaceted contextual strategy to minimizing the obstacles of retaining teachers. It does so by drawing on previous research on staffing and retention, as well as empirical data obtained from interviews with rural school instructors.
