Fewer and fewer people want to become teachers especially in secondary schools. Why this happening and what can be done to tackle this problem?

The fact a lot of people do not want to become teachers has caused serious concerns of the general public, due to its ever increasing negative effects on the education system. Despite the fact that attempts have been undertaken to tackle

this

issue, there is a st

can be teachers who earn only about $200 despite their years of experience in a bank earn a decent salary of up to $500 with only two years of experience. Another contributing factor is that teachers have to deal with excessive paperwork.

In other words

, they cannot carry out their normal duties related to teaching because of the efforts made to fill out all the unnecessary forms.

The first step

has

o raise teachers' pay by two or three times at least.

For instance

, teachers are paid a reasonable amount of money for what they do in the most developed countries like Japan and Singapore. Another solution could be to reduce the amount of the paperwork. To put it more simply, the government ought to cut the paperwork so that teachers can focus on their main obligations. Take the USA as an example where there are no irrelevant documents to be filled out which helps teachers to concentrate on the quality of teaching. In conclusion, I can firmly state that if the efforts are implemented at the right time, the problem regarding a shortage of teachers can be effectively addressed.
