Towards a Better Understanding of Teacher Recognition in Society: Issues and Challenges
Abstract
A functioning educational system is dependent on the acknowledgment of teachers. However, it is frequently eclipsed by a number of problems and difficulties that are prevalent in society. The paper examines the current situation of societal respect for teachers, analyzes the major problems and difficulties encountered, and offers potential answers. The study explores the function of teachers, society perceptions of the field, and the effects of insufficient recognition. Findings indicate that despite the critical role of teachers, they often face a lack of appreciation, inadequate compensation, and a general undervaluation of their profession (Ingersoll & Strong, 2011). A multifaceted strategy encompassing stakeholders like governments, educational institutions, and society at large is needed to address these concerns.
