Parents, practitioners, and policy makers agree that the key to improve and develop both public and private education is to place highly qualified teachers in all classrooms. But a more elusive goal is how to empirically measure teacher quality. One suggested measure is to require teacher’s licensing or certification. Currently, certification is an inevitable component of national education systems worldwide. The main goal of this paper is to discuss teacher licensing or certification from different countries, with an intention to provide ideas or suggestions to the policy makers in Saudi Arabia with regards to the standards of teacher certification or licensing which might be implemented soon in the kingdom in the near future.
