These days in many countries, fewer and fewer people want to become teachers, particularly in secondary schools. What are the reasons for this, and how could the problem be solved?

A generation ago, teaching in a high school was considered an extremely well-respected and popular profession, and in some countries

is still true.

However

, in many parts of the world, there has been a sharp drop in the number of young people who want to become high school teachers.

This

essay will look at the reasons for

this

and propose some solutions. One of the main causes of the problem is that teachers’ salaries are lower than many other jobs. Teachers’ pay has not kept pace with that of other professions,

as law or medicine. In the UK,

for example

, a doctor with five years’ experience will earn far more than a teacher with the same experience. The solution is for the government to raise teachers’ pay significantly, which would attract more people into the profession. Another complication is that many children do not behave well in class.

That is

to say, teachers often have to deal with pupils who disobey them, which often causes them to give up teaching.

This

tends to put off potential teachers as well. To tackle

issue, parents must give their children a sense of respect for teachers, in order to make children behave better in class. At

third

cause of the issue is that teachers often have too much work to do. Most teachers are snowed under with marking and paperwork, which means that they have to stay late at school and work at home in the evening.

As a result

Linking Words

, many teachers are tired and stressed, and their office has a negative effect on their family life. The way forward could be cut teachers’ hours, and to take on more teaching assistants, which would make teaching and easier activity. To sum up, teaching has become a much less popular work in many countries, due to reasons

such

as the salary, the working hours and pupils’ behaviour.

This

is a serious problem, and unless we can get more talented young people to become teachers, the education of our children will suffer. My view is that the main responsibility for solving the problem lies with parents and the government.
