A survey of elementary and junior high school teachers found that teachers who work overtime for a long time are more likely to attend classes with insufficient preparation or to be worried about finding bullying.
Researchers surveyed point out that long working hours for teachers can affect children's education.
This survey was conducted by Professor Ryo Uchida of Nagoya University Graduate School last November, and 924 teachers in their 20s and 50s from public elementary and junior high schools nationwide responded online.
Among them, the teachers who answered that they are attending classes with insufficient preparation accounted for about 53% of overtime work including work to take home for less than 20 hours a week, whereas it was 20 hours or more and less than 40 hours. In 67%, it increased to 70% for 40 hours or more, and the longer the overtime hours, the higher the ratio.
Furthermore, the percentage of respondents who answered "I'm worried about early detection of bullying" was 66% for less than 20 hours, 70% for 20 hours or more and less than 40 hours, and 82% for 40 hours or more.
Professor Uchida, who conducted the survey, said that teachers are too busy to deal with children and may affect education. I point out.
