Global comparisons such as the Global Teacher Status Index show what is possible in education, take away excuses from those who are complacent, and help to set meaningful targets for the world’s educational leaders……

让那些自满(满足于现状的人)不再有借口可找
Explanation:
most will agree that the quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers.

这句说明 教师质量决定了教育系统的质量,因此教师的质量越高,那么教育系统的质量就越高。教师不自满,不满足于现状,提升自身水平,才可能提升教育质量。
