Overload and exit: Teachers in Schonhaltung!
Overload and exit: Teachers in Schonhaltung!
The mood at the German schools is sometimes dreary - this is not only shown in the reports of the teachers, but also in the current studies and statistics. According to hanauer.de, many teachers are dissatisfied or overwhelmed, but rarely pull the consequence and cancel. The cause: termination is often associated with financial losses due to the loss of the civil servant. Instead, many choose the path of early retirement or fight through inability to work.
The location is tense. In this way, teachers often have to go into an “barrel posture” and only do the bare essentials. In this context, ex-teacher Isabell Probst mentions five main reasons for the exit from the profession: the overload, the lack of further development, the high professional ethic without sufficient support, management defects and individual stress or diagnoses. It becomes clear that the education system has massive reform needs here.
The creeping Exodus
According to a current study of the , There is a creeping exodus from schools. The 2024 educational monitor has determined that 13.6% in Bremen and 29.5% of teachers in Bavaria have left their job due to inability to work. A real dilemma that not only affects the teachers themselves, but also the students and the entire educational landscape.
Schools sweat! In the current school year, more than 15% of teachers are missing across Germany in Germany, as can be seen from the data of the German School portals . In addition, 10.5% of teachers at general education schools have not passed a recognized teaching examination. The proportion of young teachers under the age of 35 is relatively low at 21.1%, while more than 36.2% of teachers are over 50 years old. An alarming development for the future of schools!
What to do about the lack of teachers?
Politics urgently have to act. The educational council is already planning to combat the lack of teachers through temporary cuts in the hourly boards and reforms in teacher training. After all, the statistics show that the number of teaching graduates has a small increase - in the exam year 2023 there were around 29,000 graduates - but that is not enough to compensate for the decline of 12.6% in the past ten years.
The challenges are great and the solution is not easy. It is clear that the future of schools depends on many factors. We can only improve the situation in the long term with a combination of political will, big changes in the education system and better support from teachers. A certain "collecting yourself" in the teaching profession would be the goal here-for the teachers and especially for the students!
