The Plight of Teachers Matters After effects of COVID-19 on health, wellbeing, emotions. Additional responsibilities, increased workload, bureaucratic accountability. Violence against teachers in and outside the school environment Scripted lessons and limited autonomy to exercise professional judgement and decisional capital. Overcrowding classrooms, big class sizes and teacher people ratio. Poor working conditions, especially multigrade teachers and ECD practitioners. Inadequate and inequitable provisioning of continuing professional development and learning. Recurring digital divide
Teachers/Practitioners are viewed as the unsung heroes of the education sector across the globe. They made all other professions, yet they remain unsung. One educational author said If the future of our world rests on children, and the children s future rests on the teachers, then surely their voices must be heard
