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

, 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

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,

in many countries, due to reasons

is a serious

lies with parents and the government
