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?

In recent years, the number of individuals choosing teaching as a career option is dwindling, and specifically for teaching at secondary schools in most of the countries.

This

essay will discuss the major reasons for

this

development which includes long working hours and unacceptable behaviour of students.

Also

, it will suggest solutions to these problems that are reducing

time

spent at the job as well as regulating student's demeanour towards teachers. One of the foremost problems which

people from opting for teaching is that they are expected to spend more

time

working in comparison to any other nine-to-five jobs. Most of the times, professors are expected to work for 10-12 hours a day, though payment for working overtime is not provided;

while away the remaining day with family. As a matter of fact, in an interview conducted by BBC media, a secondary school educator stated that she seldom gets

time

to spend with her family, as by the

time

she arrives home from work her children and spouse would go to sleep. Another reason is that most of the students behave in an impertinent way with their teachers while mocking the latter's teaching style and causing a nuisance in the class.

This

problem could be solved by setting flexible working hours.

In other words

, the amount of

time

expend by the faculty members should be minimized, for it will ensure retaining experienced as well as prospective teachers.

Furthermore

, it will spare them enough

time

to carry out various activities apart from work. Another way to tackle

this

problem is by laying stricter rules to maintain the decorum of the school.

For instance

, if any pupil is witnessed treating their lecturer with derision, they should be penalised or subjected to dire consequences,

such

as suspension. In conclusion, even though many literates are not showing interest in jobs related to teaching especially to 14-16 aged children because of the elaborate office durations and the way students behave,

this

can be resolved by setting up feasible working

time

required and by setting regulations to manage inappropriate conduct of learners.
