Abstract
Teachers' pitiful performance on a test of primary Tschool Math – as part of the SchoolTELLS survey
– suggests that poor teacher competence is a
plausible explanation for children's low Math
achievement levels in school. The objectively measured
Math skills of teachers correspond well with the
subjective perceptions of teachers: about 80% of sample
teachers agree to some degree with the statement -“I
sometimes have difficulties in addressing mathematical
queries and problems of my students”. The findings have
implications for both recruitment policy and for (pre- and
in-service) teacher training curricula
