About TALIS 2024
The fourth Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2024) is an international survey that offers
the opportunity for teachers and principals to provide input into education analysis and policy development.
TALIS is being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). [Name
of country], along with more than 50 other countries, is taking part in the survey.
International comparisons from TALIS will allow participants to identify common challenges and to learn
from other policy approaches. Principals and teachers will provide information about teaching and learning
issues such as their education and professional learning, professional and pedagogical practices,
occupational perceptions, and institutional environments and management as well as contemporary issues
for education systems such as diversity and equity, social and emotional learning of students, educational
uses of technology, and environmental and sustainability education.
Being an international survey, it is possible that some questions do not fit very well within your national
context. In these cases, please answer as best as you can.
Confidentiality
All information that is collected in this study will be treated confidentially. While results will be made
available by country and, for example, by the type of school within a country, you are guaranteed that
neither you, this school, nor any school personnel will be identified in any report of the results of the study.
[Participation in this survey is voluntary and any individual may withdraw at any time.]

About TALIS 2024
The fourth Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2024) is an international survey that offers
the opportunity for teachers and principals to provide input into education analysis and policy development.
TALIS is being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). [Name
of country], along with more than 50 other countries, is taking part in the survey.
International comparisons from TALIS will allow participants to identify common challenges and to learn
from other policy approaches. Principals and teachers will provide information about teaching and learning
issues such as their education and professional learning, professional and pedagogical practices,
occupational perceptions, and institutional environments and management as well as contemporary issues
for education systems such as diversity and equity, social and emotional learning of students, educational
uses of technology, and environmental and sustainability education.
Being an international survey, it is possible that some questions do not fit very well within your national
context. In these cases, please answer as best as you can.
Confidentiality
All information that is collected in this study will be treated confidentially. While results will be made
available by country and, for example, by the type of school within a country, you are guaranteed that
neither you, this school, nor any school personnel will be identified in any report of the results of the study.
[Participation in this survey is voluntary and any individual may withdraw at any time.]

About TALIS 2024
The fourth Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2024) is an international survey that offers the
opportunity for teachers and principals to provide input into education analysis and policy development. TALIS
is being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). [Name of
country], along with more than 50 other countries, is taking part in the survey.
International comparisons from TALIS will allow participants to identify common challenges and to learn from
other policy approaches. Principals and teachers will provide information about teaching and learning issues
such as their education and professional learning, professional and pedagogical practices, occupational
perceptions, and institutional environments and management as well as contemporary issues for education
systems such as diversity and equity, social and emotional learning of students, educational uses of technology,
and environmental and sustainability education.
In the TALIS study, it is our intention to draw a picture of the different educational practices in all the
participating countries. Countries and individuals may differ in their educational approaches. We rely on your
expertise to describe your work and opinions as accurately as possible.
Being an international survey, it is possible that some questions do not fit very well within your national context.
In these cases, please answer as best as you can.
Confidentiality
All information that is collected in this study will be treated confidentially. While results will be made available
by country and, for example, by the type of school within a country, you are guaranteed that neither you, this
school, nor any school personnel will be identified in any report of the results of the study. [Participation in
this survey is voluntary and any individual may withdraw at any time.]

Education and Sustainability
The following section includes questions related to sustainability, with an emphasis on climate change.
‘Sustainability’ means meeting the essential needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. It is a way of thinking about the future in which environmental,
societal and economic considerations are balanced in the pursuit of an improved quality of life.
‘Climate change’ encompasses global warming but also refers to a broader range of changes, including rising
sea levels, shrinking glaciers, accelerated melting of polar ice, and shifts in flower/plant blooming times as
well as its impacts on environment, economy, and society.
