   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Anja Tuneld; [2020]
   Keywords : Teacher certification; teacher quality; student achievement; education policy;

   Abstract : In an effort to raise the status of teachers and increase the quality and equity of Swedish education by ensuring competent teachers, a national and subject-specific teacher certification was introduced in 2011, despite scant evidence in favor of teacher certification.
