TEACHING STAFF RECRUITMENT IN PRE-UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: CASE OF ALBANIA

Recruiting quality teachers is significantly important because high-quality teachers are considered to be paramount for students' success. However, particularly in developing countries recruiting and selection processes are often deemed to be biased and not sufficiently transparent. As such, this article seeks to address transparency and fairness issues. For this purpose, a sample of 5 prospective teachers and 4 criteria were analyzed by using the fuzzy TOPSIS technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solutions which is a method widely applied to deal with problems in multi-criteria decision making. In addition, results, as well as recruitment criteria and their importance weights, are discussed.
