Over the past few weeks, it has been reported that thousands of teachers in England had went across the street for a national teachers strike due to the grievances concerning in their field of teaching. In which, there welfare as a teacher and employee had not been catered well such as their compensation rate and privileges. For there are some schools especially public educational learning institutes who didn’t give much attention to the teachers welfare such as not giving the exact teachers compensation rate the law requires and there are some privileges are not been distributed equally which means that there are only few teachers who have receive such privileges. Having these situations, it leads the national teachers union to conduct a massive national strike all throughout England which leads to the closure to most of the schools. Since, most of the teachers have participated said event.
Although, the national strike had already been finished and the concerns of some teachers in their field of profession had already been address but still there are some concerns that have arise such as the decrease of young learners in teaching profession. In which, it has been observe that only few young individuals who have pursued a teaching profession. This was based on the population rate of the students who get an education program course in teaching field. Since, it has been observe that there is a great decrease of the number of learners in the teaching course program compare to the past years. It has been found out that the result of this declination of student teachers is due to the high educational expenditure rate of the teaching course and some young individuals are discourage to pursue this teaching field because of the lower compensation rate that will be given to the trainee teachers which is not enough for their personal necessities.
In line with that concern, the government has allowed to earn a degree online upon learning to become a teacher in order to cut down the cost rate and to give chance to the individuals who haven’t enough financial resources to forego a teaching course program. As well, the government had encouraged the different school administrators to increase the rate of compensation or allowance to the trainee teachers in their institutions. With this case, the government is very much hopeful that the teaching field concern will be resolve.
Here in United Kingdom, there are several controversies and issues that had arise in the field of teaching such as the recent event of national teacher’s strike and the results of the national teacher’s evaluation that had been conducted where there about 24,000 teachers who are found incompetent in doing their job functions as teachers in mentoring the young individuals. Another concerns had just recently arise regarding teaching field, it is about the gradual decline of individuals to pursue a teaching career. In which, it has been found that population rate of learners who have pursued a teaching career have decreases to a certain percentage. This was discovered by comparing the numbers of the latest young teachers aspirants who have will be going a teachers training in the different educational learning institute with the numbers of teachers trainee last year and it was found out that the numbers have really decline.
As of now, the governments together with the school administrators are still on going discovering the reasons of this declination of individuals for the pursuant of teaching career and discovering any strategies that will help in resolving this teaching field concerns. One of the main area that they have seen the reason why young individuals loose interest in pursuing a education program of becoming a teacher is because of the different negatives issues that the teaching field are facing. In which, it creates a negative image or impact to the side of the young learners. As a result, they loose interest about this teaching career field. Aside of that also is the presence of costly teacher degree course program. In which, majority of the young learners can’t afford to spend a huge amount of money in order to forego an educators learning program. Even though, student loan financial aid is quite available but still there are several young individuals who can’t avail because of fact that they are not qualified due to their low income status. For that manner, the government must give much attention in resolving this teachers concern in order to prevent worst situations to happen.
Over 630,000 Spanish school children were without a class to go to this Wednesday after some 60,000 educators took to their 2nd day of strike this month.
The aim of the teachers’ strike is to demonstrate their want for better salaries and their protestations against the privatization of teaching. A major issue in the Spanish education system, the affects of the dominance of the private schools have been particularly resonant in the infantile sector – where pirate nurseries are being set up as a result of the lack of places available in the legal public nurseries.
Though Vice Councillor of Spain’s Education Board, Jesús Valverde, insists they are dealing with this issue by opening 22 new public infant schools, General Secretary of the Teacher’s Union, Francisco García, begs to differ. Citing statistics such as that which demonstrates how the public education budget has grown by only 30% as opposed to the promised 92%, he believes that public education is clearly not a government priority.
Given that Mr Valverde insists all objectives set to be accomplished before 2009 are being indeed being accomplished, the fact that Mr García is adamant that what is being done is no where near what was promised indicates that a settlement of the dispute is unlikely to be seen anytime soon, something which Wednesday’s march of Union members between Seville and Colón only served to emphasise.
Here in London, several people especially the young learners look up and highly respected their teachers because of the great things that the teachers contributed to their life which are the knowledge and skills that can become tools for attaining a rewarding career in the future. With the good reputation of the teachers to their students and parents, teachers must also do their part in order to maintain their good reputations to the individuals who have much or great expectations upon performing their duties in giving out educational services to their students. But somehow, there are several issues that have arise regarding the incompetence of some teachers upon performing their job functions as mentors and nurturers of knowledge or skills.
These issues that have arise are the different results of the test that the government conducted to the public teachers in the country and for the career tests and they have found out that there are about 24,000 teachers who have not passed the teachers competencies based on the standard that the government that been set. With that result, there are several reactions that have arise whether negative or positive but the government have not condemn that result because at some point the different public educational institute have not also done their part in providing an education program training for the teachers to grow their field of work or profession. In which, it has found been found out that the newly graduate teachers who are currently employed are directly given an very challenging tasks without any formal training coming from their seniors or supervisors. In that case, the educational learning institutes, government and parents will not expect much towards their teachers in performing their job functions well. But despite of that case, that some teachers haven’t receive any formal training from their employer but still they have performed their duties well. In which, it had been found out that most of the learners have finished their educational program and have highly succeeded their career life.
With that scenario, the did not condemn or neither criticizing the some of the public teachers who have not passed the career test fro they have know that it was not their fault. Besides, it is not the only basis to determine that teachers are competitive enough in performing their job functions.

For that case, there are several individuals from the other nationalities especially from the developing countries who have availed the immigration system of the United Kingdom because of several career opportunities and high economic stability that this nation entails. According to the government of United Kingdom, they have observe that this is a great increase of migrants in their nations from 2006 until this year and it is expected that it will increase as the years to come. Although, there are several people who have befitted on this migration system because somehow this system have some concern and pressure for the part of several teachers in the United Kingdom both private and public schools. In which, several teachers have some difficulty in dealing and teaching the students migrants whose first language is not English.
These concerns of the teachers are quite alarming because of the fact that the migrants population rate keeps on increasing.

Since, there are some schools who give compensation rate much lower to the minimum wage that the government has been established and for that they are asking for justice in regards to their case. Aside of that also, some teachers have not given any benefits or privileges as based on what they have agreed on. With the seriousness of that situation, those teachers who have experience this kind of injustice went to the teacher’s union association in order to ask for their support.

As the England government had have heard this teachers strike there were alarm and immediately organizes a schedule meeting for all the department of labor and the teachers association in order to tackle out this aspects so that justice and peace will always prevail.

The prime reason of this gradual decline of teachers is because of the several teaching overseas opportunities that have occurred and got a bigger offer or compensation rate and good privileges. With the great career opportunities that the other nations give, it simply encourages several teachers especially the English teachers to migrant or works in other nations.
