The PISA results show that students are performing worse, which raises questions about the quality of teaching. The article suggests that it would be useful to have a similar system to evaluate teachers, not to create empty rankings, but to obtain information about teachers that is currently not available.
The text argues that each school should have autonomy to choose its own teachers. In this way, schools would be responsible for the results of their hiring choices.
The article identifies the word "responsibility" as the one that causes the most fear in this debate. The proposal implies that schools should be accountable for the results obtained by teachers they themselves selected.
The author argues that not doing evaluation is as harmful as doing it only to create rankings without purpose.
