Abstract

Professional engagement, agency, and autonomy of teachers have been imagined in specific ways through recent policy guidelines on teachers’ work in South Asia. This imagination is derived from empirical research that stresses the idea of teacher accountability through studies on teacher absenteeism, teacher unions, and the relative efficacy of private schools as compared to government schools.
