yes.
1. teaching is ever more demanding compare to the 80s and early
90s.
2. most teachers leave the profession once they complete their
bond.
3. more and higher expectations of teachers are demanded by both
the general public, MOE and the parents.
4. more than half the time a teacher spend in school is wasted
on useless meetings, admin matters that contribute very little (or
none) to a child's education.
5. parents are one of the major problems nowadays.
6. ranking of teachers are not necessary done fairly across
different schools.
7. ranking of teachers across subjects are not done fairly
within a school.
8. the cost (money, teacher labour and planning hours) of
conducting the many activities initiated by the school leaders are
generally not cost efficient for the students.
9. programmes and courses that teach techniques that cannot be
applied to average or below-avg schools.
10. "please parents and moe" mindset of school leaders work
against even the most passionate teachers.
And these are only some of the issues in sg. Why do u think the
world lack teachers?
