Teachers still quitting at alarming rate; hindering students' education
Published On Aug 28, 2024, 2:00 AM
Teachers are experiencing high levels of burnout and dissatisfaction, leading to a significant exit from the profession. Factors contributing to this include increasing responsibilities without corresponding pay, under-preparation for the challenges of teaching, and a general lack of support. A concerning poll indicates that only 16% of teachers would recommend the profession, which has seen fewer teachers willing to stay, especially in high-demand subjects like math and science. The ongoing teacher shortage is highlighted, with many schools facing numerous vacancies as the new school year begins, risking student achievement due to late hiring practices.
