Objective of the Study

Teacher shortages are among the most critical gaps that undermine educational performance,
especially in developing countries, where there tends to be inequality in human resource
allocation. The teacher shortages arising in the world today are caused by various factors.
From empirical studies conducted internationally, it can be concluded that the problem is
brought on by two factors: population change and work environment.
Population change has given rise to an increase in the elderly population. Since a significant
segment of the teacher workforce comprises those who are nearing retirement age, when they
retire the teaching workforce decreases. If this decline in the teaching workforce is not
mitigated, a teacher shortage will arise. As for work environment, this factor is considered to
have the most significant influence on the teacher shortage in schools since these factors
affect young people’s career decisions—that is, whether they initially decide to become
teachers in the first place and, if so, whether they decide to continue to teach vs. entering
another profession.
Salaries and other compensation are important factors in motivating people to work as
teachers and in maintaining a robust teaching workforce. Salaries are also a vital factor
influencing teacher allocation within different regions. Areas with high salaries and other
compensation have an advantage in attracting teachers. Therefore, teacher shortages tend to
be more severe in underprivileged schools located in remote rural areas since rural area
schools tend to offer lower salaries and benefits than do schools located in urban areas,
leading most teachers to seek employment in urban areas.
Teacher shortages in certain areas can affect teacher quality in each school in that area,
though perhaps not in an identical way. However, the result can be educational inequality
even within a specific area. Teacher shortages tend to be more severe in underprivileged
schools located in remote rural areas than in schools located in urban areas. If such rural
schools do not have enough teachers, the teachers who are there commonly have to teach
multigrade classrooms.
To Analyze Academic Performance
Examine how teacher shortages correlate with students’ academic achievement. Assess the
impact of inexperienced or unqualified teachers on student learning.
To Evaluate Social and Emotional Development
Investigate how the lack of consistent, qualified teachers affects students’ social skills and
emotional well-being. Explore the role of teachers in providing mentorship and support,
especially for at-risk students.
To Identify Long-term Educational Outcomes
Study the implications of teacher shortages on students’ future educational opportunities,
including high school graduation rates and college enrollment. Analyze how early educational
experiences influenced by teacher quality affect lifelong learning and career paths.
To Explore Disparities Across Demographics
Assess how teacher shortages disproportionately impact students from various
backgrounds, particularly low-income and minority populations. Investigate regional
variations in teacher availability and their effects on local student populations.
To Propose Strategic Solutions
Identify effective strategies to mitigate the impact of teacher shortages on student learning.
Recommend policy changes and innovative practices to attract and retain qualified educators
in the workforce.
