Many SA teachers want to quit profession due to stress, report says

These revelations are made in the second volume of the Teaching and Learning International Survey report.

“About one in five teachers reported experiencing a lot of stress. In South Africa, this proportion increases to about one in four,” said the report. Ostensibly, stress over too much marking had to do with overcrowding in urban schools. Stress over too much administrative work was linked to the curriculum.

“In South Africa, teachers who report experiencing stress at their work ‘a lot’ are 40% more likely to want to leave in the next five years.” The Star reported in April that more than 57 000 permanent teachers resigned between January 2012 and December last year. Unions lamented this as a worrying brain drain.
