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?

Teaching is a noble profession and

thus

, should be desirable,

however

,

this

is not the case as very few

people

nowadays want to become

teachers

. In

this

essay, I will be discussing some reasons for

this

trend

in addition

to offering some possible solutions. On the

one

hand,the predominant reason why individuals are no longer interested in the teaching profession is because of how much they earn.

Teachers

are

one

of the lowest earners in society today with a salary of about 20 pounds an hour for beginners making it difficult if not impossible to meet

one

's daily needs on

such

a low income. Most young

people

want a better quality of life which requires higher income,

hence

,the decline in the number of

teachers

.

Additionally

, teaching in secondary schools is a career that requires some qualities that are scarce nowadays,

for instance

, passion and patience, due to the fact that

teachers

deal with different students from varying backgrounds on a daily basis,

therefore

, without being passionate about the job frustration and anger can set in.

One

way of tackling

this

issue is by increasing the salaries of tutors. If

teachers

are able to live comfortable lives ,

for example

, affording quality accommodation and good cars that would impress youngsters,

consequently

, igniting the desire to choose that career path. Another way to tackle the reduction in the number of

teachers

is by providing scholarship programmes for those who are passionate about tutoring. University education is really expensive, costing several thousands of pounds per semester and totally unaffordable for 65 per cent of the population. Granting scholarships or subsidising tuition fees for teaching courses could encourage

people

further

to join the course. In conclusion ,there has been a fall in the number of

people

who want to teach particularly in secondary schools.

This

may be due to the low-income

teachers

earn or lack of patience and passion for the job which are the principal required qualities. Solutions

such

as increasing salaries and offering scholarships should be considered .
