A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS TOWARD DIFFERENTIATED STAFFING

Abstract

Despite a surplus of trained teaching personnel in our schools, there is a shortage of quality teaching needed for quality education. The fact that there should not be a manpower problem is highlighted by surveys that indicate more than one million trained teachers are not in the classroom because they choose to work elsewhere. Moreover, there would be no problem if the nation's annual 200,000 graduates of teacher training institutes would enter and remain in teaching.2 This shortage and the increased militancy of teachers throughout the nation arise because teaching is not yet completely professionalized.
