The provision of equal opportunities in education has been and remains one of the main priorities of education systems in different countries. However, the shortage of teachers in schools, especially in remote and suburban areas, is a pressing problem acknowledged internationally. One of the issues that concerns schools in suburban areas is constant difficulties in attracting and retaining teachers. The directors of small schools and schools located in the suburbs of megacities emphasize a greater shortage of teaching staff than the directors of schools in large cities. The mobility of teachers is relevant for the modern educational environment, and there appears more data on the factors that are associated with teachers’ mobility. This article presents the results of a study that involved 118 teachers from schools of the Odintsovo city district of outer Moscow, aimed at identifying the factors that impact the mobility of teachers in these schools. As a result of the study, high-quality semi-structured interviews were conducted with six teachers of different ages and teaching experience, as well as teaching different subjects. The interview guide was based on the questions of the interview with M. Toksanbayeva, that was used to conduct the 2017–2018 study of the motives for mobility and retainment of workers in various economic fields in 14 regions of Russia. The study reveals the factors that decrease the mobility of teachers in the schools of the study sample, despite the proximity
of these schools to Moscow.
