Education experts held an urgent press conference, saying that there was a "teacher shortage" at schools around the world this year as well, and the national and local governments made immediate improvements, such as securing a budget to increase the recruitment of regular teachers. I asked for it.
On the 9th, four people, including education experts, met at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
At the meeting, teachers and parents have been complaining about the shortage of teachers this spring, and it is said that an urgent investigation has been conducted since the end of last month. Of the 179 vice-principals who answered above, 20% said that they had a shortage of teachers at the opening ceremony last month.
Professor Kaori Suetomi of Nihon University, who met, said that the survey is scheduled to be conducted until the 22nd of this month, so it is necessary to see the future trends. , I feel more. The situation such as "there is no teacher in charge" causes anxiety and disadvantage to the child, so it is necessary to improve as soon as possible. "
As a proposal for the future, we requested the national and local governments to secure a budget for hiring regular teachers, improve the working environment of teachers who are pointed out to have severe working conditions, and to the local community. I asked them to understand and support the situation of the teachers.
