Education and Teaching

Fewer and fewer young people are choosing to become a teacher. Why do young people do not want to become teachers? How this could be changed?

Take a look at the model answer.

The number of college graduates who want to become professors is declining rapidly as the year’s progress. Firstly, this essay believes that students do not choose to become teachers because they think that this profession is not a high paying job and secondly, it will discuss possible solutions that could make teaching an attractive vocation.
On the one hand, becoming a teacher is a very challenging career path. This is demanding work for they need a lot of patience and dedication in order to teach different kinds of personalities. In addition, the salary of a teacher is not enough to cover the costs of more than a one-person family and in order to make extra income, many teachers have second jobs. For instance, a study by the National Teachers Coalition in the Philippines in 2014 reported that 70% of secondary teachers in public schools in Metro Manila offered private study lessons outside of their school hours.
On the other hand, the government should offer free scholarship grants for those students who want to pursue becoming a teacher. This could encourage them to choose the teaching profession for this would allow them to develop a career with many possibilities, once trained. The government could also raise the teaching salary to match other schools based in other countries. For example, a survey by the Department of Education in the Philippines in 2011 revealed that 6 out of 10 students chose to become a teacher after gaining a full scholarship program, with the understanding that they have to teach in their country for at least 2 years.
In conclusion, to become a teacher is a noble profession. The government should compensate them for their tasks in helping future minds reach their potential. They need to offer support so that the teaching profession can continue to grow and develop.
