Schools in West Java Still Lack Thousands of Teachers, What's the Real Cause?

3. Teacher Stress: Working hours that exceed normal requirements can cause stress and burnout, potentially resulting in high rates of resignation.

If the teacher shortage continues, it will have a major impact on education in West Java. Solutions that can be implemented by the government are:

1. Increase the education budget: Local governments need to increase the budget allocation for education in order to recruit and retain teachers.

2. Placement and incentive programs: Develop a teacher placement program with special incentives for remote areas so that more teachers want to work in these locations.

3. Improved facilities and support: Improve education facilities and provide adequate support for teachers, including access to technology and learning resources.

4. Campaign for Improved Professional Status: Conduct campaigns to improve the image of the teaching profession and attract young people to choose a career as an educator.

The teaching profession is very important for the progress of a country. So this problem must be addressed immediately so that it does not become a time bomb in the future.
