These day, in many countries fewer people want to become teachers, particularly in secondary schools. What are the reasons for this and what are the solutions?

Generally speaking,

teachers

often play an essential part in the development of a country. Unfortunately, a declining interest in becoming an educator can be observed in many countries, especially in secondary

education

.

This

essay will explore the reasons behind

this

phenomenon and, hopefully, offer a solution to the problem.

To begin

with, many

teachers

in public schools reported a tremendous amount of overtime.

teaching in classes, never-ending planning and paperwork needed to be done after

school

hours

, sometimes during holidays.

For example

, some

teachers

were asked to start two

hours

early to prepare the class and leave two to three

hours

later to finish reports and communicate with parents. In

this

case, the

education

department should minimise paperwork and develop a more efficient planning system. It will be significantly helpful to reduce unnecessary work

for

teachers

.

Additionally

, the job of being a

teacher

can be stressful. In most cases, one

teacher

is responsible for more than 20 students. Particularly in secondary schools, it can be difficult to manage 20 teenagers, who are experiencing puberty and facing challenges.

For instance

, high

educators often report they are overwhelmed by students’ increasing behavioural issues and verbal abuse. In my opinion, the

school

management should reduce class size or provide extra support like assigning

teacher

aides to bigger classes.

Teachers

will have better control,

teachers

is the unmatched salary. As mentioned above, the career of

can be demanding.

However

, the wages do not align with the workload, especially for secondary educators who invest extra time to study. In

this

circumstance, the

education

department or schools should improve

’s salaries and other benefits, not merely to show appreciation to in-job

teachers

, but more importantly, to attract more students to pursue

. All things considered, it is critical for the authority and

school

management to review and improve the current workload and compensation to the

teachers

. Or else, their countries will eventually face a shortage of

teachers

and risk the quality of their

education

system.
