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

job

, and in some

However

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,

such

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

problem

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

this

issue, parents must give their

children

a sense of respect for

teachers

, in order to make

children

behave better in class. A third cause of the

problem

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

, many

teachers

are tired and stressed, and their

job

has a negative effect on their family life. The way forward could be to cut

To sum up

, teaching has become a much less popular

in many countries,

due to

as the salary, the

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.
