Teacher employment is important in terms of determining and assessing the quality of education in the educational system of a country. Policies on teacher employment are both determinants of teacher training process and affect many variables in education. Teacher employment should be assessed in the context of supply and demand balance, as is the case in all areas. The quota of teacher training institutions is determined in the direction of countries' teacher employment policies and those who select teaching as a career are directed to this profession. Inadequate balance between supply and demand and lack of cooperation between teacher-training institutions and teacher-employing institutions bring with it many problems. For this reason, there should be a strong co-operation link between teacher-training institutions and teacher-employing institutions.
