Teachers are bored!
Who’s more bored? Teacher Margaret or Student Mahesh? It’s Miss Maggie, the teacher! Why? Because, they are over-worked, underpaid, are under-trained, and have lots more grouses than the students. According to a survey conducted by e2e business solutions, a city-based people management and training institute, an overwhelming 83% of teachers are tired and demotivated enough to say quits to the teaching profession! And interestingly, these teachers are not from government or low-profile schools, but from the top-rated schools in Bangalore!
Here’s a gist of the survey findings:
• 83% of teachers want to quit teaching, and the younger lot want to get into IT/ITeS as they find it more lucrative.
• 59% say lack of adequate training has impaired their performance.
• 29% want to pursue further research.
• 91% of the teachers feel there is a wide gap between parents and students.
• 12.5% say they are not a mediator between parents and students.
• 90% feel training is badly needed for making education and teaching more effective.
