Education is the backbone in the development of any nation.It is a fact that countries that have an effective system of education also happen tobe the leaders of the world, both socially and economically. In short it is education,which can turn the population of any country from a burden to human resource. Inthis article we will be discussing the problems being faced by Teachers.During the period from roughly the late 1950s to the early 1980s, teachereducation was defined primarily as a training problem. The essence of thisapproach was conceptualizing teacher education as a formal educational processintended to ensure that the behaviors of prospective teachers matched those of“effective” teachers. During the period from roughly the early 1980s through theearly 2000s, teacher education was defined primarily as a learning problem. Thisapproach assumed that excellent teachers were professionals who wereknowledgeable about subject matter and pedagogy and who made decisions, constructed responsive curriculum, and knew how to continue learningthroughout the professional lifespan (Cochran-Smith, 2004).The first and foremost factor in choosing a profession anywhere the financialbenefits which a person, derives from it. The salary of our teacher is quite meagerand is not enough to lead a decent life and support a healthy family. This not onlydiverts the attention of the teacher but also brings a bad name to this once the mostrespected profession. If it is ensured that a teacher gets enough financial benefitswith which he can lead a decent life, he will then be in a position to invest all hisenergies in doing justice to his profession. The other most important factor, whichin majority of the cases is as important as financial problems that a professioncommands is the respect that it gives to a person who joins it. As already touchedabove teaching is constantly losing its respect. The situation is so bad today thatqualified people opt for other professions and majority of persons joining thisprofession are of quit a low caliber. It has been observed that majority of theteachers are not only posted away from the cities/villages they belong to but arealso subjected to very frequent transfers. Frequent transfers also have a negativeeffect on the family life of teachers especially the education of their children. It is afact that once teachers are inducted in our education system they are seldomprovided any training of substance. Due to lack of training they are not aware ofchallenges of the future and hence are unable to prepare their students to play theirdue role. Due to lack of realistic investment in our educational institutions sinceindependence, the pressure on schools has increased many folds. On the average asingle teacher teaches at least sixty students in a classroom which was basicallymeant for thirty students. Our system of education lacks communication betweenteaching staff, parents, headmasters, and the concerned higher authorities. Due tothis they are unable to coordinate and make consolidated efforts for the uplift of theeducational system and end-up blaming each other. As already discussed once ateacher is inducted he seldom goes through any training. In case a teacher isfortunate enough to go for training it never ever is of any quality and hence thereexists no grooming facility for a teacher. In order to impart proper education ateacher requires a number of aides to achieve this goal. These include a variety ofaudio visual aids also known as teaching kits etc. In the absence of these aids ateacher fails to explain all the concepts theoretically and mostly ends-up confusingthe students (Khan, 2008).The purpose of this study is to find out the problems encountered by the earlychildhood educators, classroom teachers and branch teachers serving in theprovince of Çanakkale. Within this context, 99 teachers out of 220, who wereparticipating in the in-service training activities of the Ministry of Education,were given a scale with 15 recognized problems and asked to specify problems theyencounter and decide on the 4 most disturbing ones. Total of 395 problems specified by the teachers. Analyzing frequencies of the specified problems, ‘lowincome levels’, ‘lowered status in the society’ and ‘rapidly changing curriculumsand legislations’ can be counted as the most disturbing issues for teachers.Analyzing frequencies of the least mentioned problems on the other hand,‘problems of staffing standards’, ‘non-appreciation of performances’ and ‘longworking hours’ are the least disturbing issues for teachers.
