The OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the world’s largest survey of teachers and principals. In 2024, educators from five Western Balkan education systems ? Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia ? participated in TALIS, providing information about who they are and how they are doing. This report presents regional analysis of their responses, supporting policymakers in the Western Balkans to review, develop and strengthen their efforts to support the teaching profession and enhance education outcomes. The report covers three key topics: teachers and their working conditions, student-centred teaching and learning and professional learning for in-service teachers. It concludes with a set of policy pointers for improving teacher policies and practice in the region.
