In Estonia, one in three grade 7-12 mathematics teachers is 60 or older. In the next decade, nearly 600 new mathematics teachers will be required to replace retiring teachers. Although two-thirds of those who have studied to become mathematics teachers stay in the profession, the number of new generation teachers is only about half of what is required. The need for new mathematics teachers is the greatest in Lääne County and Rapla County, according to the Foresight Centre’s short report ‘The need for the next generation of mathematics teachers and their alternative job opportunities’.
