Nowadays, being a teacher,
especially a high school
teacher, has become less
popular as a job option around
the world. Economic and social
factors can be spotted leading
to this social phenomenon.
Fortunately, there are
measures that we can take to
address this issue.

Firstly, the low salary drives

passionate new graduates
away from this once well-
respected position. Although
there are graduates holding
the dream of becoming a
teacher upon leaving school,
technological progress and ever increasing living expenses. On the
contrary, educational works are less dynamic and operated on a
non-profit basis. Therefore, teachers’ work are less likely to be
empowered by the latest technology, and their payments tend to
remain steady as time goes by.

Faced with this challenging social environment, more and more

people fear that becoming teachers will deprive them of career
prospects and decent lives. To solve this problem and decrease
teachers’ living costs, governments should invest more public
funding to increase the overall benefits for teachers, such as
allowance on medical care, housing and child care.

Besides,
