Kazakhstan Teacher Workforce Dynamics Dataset (2015–2024)

The dataset contains detailed information on teacher workforce dynamics in Kazakhstan from 2015 through 2024. It includes annual measures of teacher exits, turnover, retention, and cohort survival rates. The data cover the entire population of public-school teachers across 4,919 settlements, 212 districts (raions) and 20 administrative regions of Kazakhstan. The dataset was derived from the Kazakhstan National Education Database (NEDB), which provides official administrative records of schools, students and teachers. The dataset is intended to support research on workforce planning, teacher mobility, education policy, and long-term staffing needs. – This dataset consists of nine structured tables derived from aggregated teacher-level records for the period 2015–2024. The tables are provided in .csv format and can be found in the Dataset/tables folder. Each table presents indicators such as exit counts, retention rates, turnover rates, and cohort-based retention patterns. – A detailed variable description is available in the accompanying Dataset/tables/Codebook.xlsx, which explains all geographic identifiers, demographic categories, and indicator definitions. Each table is linked to a visualization (bar charts, line graphs, heatmaps) that highlights the main workforce dynamics by year, region, or demographic group. These figures are stored in the Dataset/data/visualizationsfolder and correspond to the table numbering for easy cross-reference. – The Dataset/code folder contains the Python scripts (.ipynb) used for data cleaning, aggregation, and indicator calculation, along with a README.txt file documenting the workflow and formulas used. The dataset enables users to investigate teacher retention and turnover across time, geographic scales (settlements, districts, oblasts), and age groups (<30, 30–39, 40–49, 50+). Researchers can replicate the analysis or extend it using the provided scripts. All data are anonymized and aggregated to protect individual confidentiality.本数据集收录了2015年至2024年哈萨克斯坦教师队伍动态的详细信息，涵盖教师离职、人员流动、队伍留存及队列留存率的年度统计指标。数据覆盖哈萨克斯坦全境公立学校教师群体，涉及4919个居民点、212个区（raions）及20个行政区域。本数据集源自哈萨克斯坦国家教育数据库（Kazakhstan National Education Database, NEDB），该库提供学校、学生与教师的官方行政记录。本数据集旨在为教师队伍规划、教师流动、教育政策及长期师资配置需求相关研究提供支撑。 – 本数据集包含9张结构化数据表，均源自2015-2024年聚合后的教师个体级记录，以.csv格式存储，存放于Dataset/tables 文件夹中。每张数据表涵盖离职人数、留存率、流动率及队列留存模式等指标。 – 配套文件Dataset/tables/Codebook.xlsx 中包含详细的变量说明，对所有地理标识符、人口统计类别及指标定义进行了解释。 – 每张数据表均配有可视化图表（条形图、折线图、热图），用于按年度、区域或人口统计组别展示核心教师队伍动态。此类图表存放于Dataset/data/visualizations 文件夹中，与对应数据表的编号保持一致，便于交叉参照。 – Dataset/code 文件夹中包含用于数据清洗、数据聚合及指标计算的Python脚本（.ipynb格式），以及一份记录了分析流程与计算方法的README.txt 文件。 本数据集支持用户开展跨时间、跨地理尺度（居民点、区、州）及跨年龄组（<30岁、30-39岁、40-49岁、50岁及以上）的教师留存与流动研究。研究人员可借助提供的脚本复现分析过程或进行拓展研究。所有数据均经过匿名化与聚合处理，以保护个体隐私。
