Analiză OCDE: profesorii din România predau în medie 540 de ore pe an, în timp ce dascălii din țările membre ale organizației petrec aproximativ 800 de ore la catedră • Știri Naționale Biz Brasov

An OECD analysis reveals that Romanian teachers spend an average of 540 hours teaching annually, significantly less than the OECD average of 800 hours. The report highlights issues such as unfilled teaching positions, job attractiveness, and teacher absences. Despite having a high job satisfaction rate, Romania faces challenges in attracting teachers, especially in rural areas. The analysis also notes that the number of unfilled teaching positions is around 1.5% in primary education, with higher rates in other countries. Additionally, a demographic decline is expected to reduce the student population by 10% by 2033, potentially altering the demand for teachers. The situation is complex, as fewer teaching hours do not equate to a more attractive profession, and the education system may need to adapt to these changes.
