Why are young people less willing to be teachers?
The article discusses the declining interest among young people in becoming teachers in Croatia, citing poor financial conditions as a major factor. Antun Kovačić, president of the Association of Croatian Secondary School Principals, highlights that teaching involves more than just knowledge transfer, it includes significant caregiving responsibilities, especially regarding students' mental health. He notes that society does not sufficiently recognize this aspect of the job. While teaching offers security, Kovačić argues that private sector jobs provide better initial opportunities, particularly in terms of salary. He gives the example of a math student choosing between higher salaries in IT and teaching. Although non-financial motivation exists, such as seeing students succeed later in life, Kovačić emphasizes that financial incentives remain crucial. The article also mentions recent educational reforms involving teacher input, like modular curriculum development, and challenges posed by adapting to artificial intelligence.
