Global teacher turnover rises due to low pay and poor conditions
 Teacher turnover (nhảy việc) rates worldwide have doubled in the

past seven years due to low salaries and difficult working conditions.

According to UNESCO, the global turnover rate increased from 4,62% in

2015 to 9,06% in 2022, with male teachers leaving at nearly twice the rate

of female teachers.

To reach universal education by 2030, the world will need 13 million

primary and 31 million secondary school teachers. Low salaries are a key

reason for this crisis, with many teachers earning less than other

professionals with similar qualifications. In some low-income countries,

teachers make more than the national average but still struggle to cover

basic expenses due to the rising cost of living.

Other reasons for teacher turnover include poor working conditions,

limited career growth, low job satisfaction, and personal challenges such

as health issues or family responsibilities. In Vietnam, the country faces a

shortage of (sự thiếu hụt) 113,000 teachers, especially in subjects like

English, IT, Music, and Fine Arts. Schools in remote areas (vùng sâu vùng
xa) are particularly affected, making it difficult to ensure quality education

for all students.

To address (= solve: giải quyết vấn đề) this, Vietnam's new

Education Law proposes higher salaries and job - related allowances for

preschool and primary teachers. China has also introduced a professional

title system for teachers, offering higher salaries and benefits, similar to

university professors. These efforts aim to (hướng tới) make teaching

more attractive and reduce turnover rates. However, experts believe that

without further improvements in working conditions, retaining teachers

will remain a challenge in many parts of the world

18. What does the word “turnover” mean in this passage?

A. The amount of money spent on education.

B. The number of new teachers entering schools.

C. The number of teachers quitting or leaving jobs.

19. What is the main reason for the global rise in teacher turnover?

A. Teachers face a heavy workload (khối lượng công việc) or strict policies.
B. Many teachers want to change careers for new challenges.

C. Low salaries and difficult working conditions discourage teachers.

20. Why do teachers in low-income countries still face financial

difficulties?

A. They earn more than others but cannot afford high living expenses.

B. They receive lower salaries than the national average income.

C. They have limited employment options in major urban areas.

21. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an issue in Vietnam’s

teacher shortage?

A.The need for more English and IT teachers.

B. The government reducing school funding.

C. The impact of teacher turnover on rural education.

22. What do experts believe about retaining teachers?

A. They believe salary increases are the only necessary solution.

B. They say keeping teachers will be difficult without better conditions.

C. They predict the number of teachers will naturally increase over time.
