Because TALIS focuses on teachers and teachers' working conditions, it is important to note that, as in the first cycle of TALIS, most of the tables and charts in this section and in most of the report are presented from a teacher perspective. This focus becomes particularly apparent in the second section of this chapter, where the data represent the proportion of teachers who work in schools with certain characteristics rather than the proportion of schools with certain characteristics.2 In cases where the policy issue is most interesting at the school level in particular (especially in Chapter 3), analyses were performed accordingly (proportion of schools), and this is clearly noted under the tables in question.
