The condition of teachers in a comparative perspective

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the situation of lower secondary education teachers in Europe on the basis of international comparative analyses. The main symptoms of the crisis in the teaching profession were outlined. The professional burnout among Polish teachers was indicated emphasising the growing social requirements for this professional group. The diagnosis of the condition of teachers was made on the basis of data contained in the report of the European Commission Teachers in Europe (2021). Several significant aspects of the work life of lower secondary school teachers were highlighted, such as the shortage of teachers in schools, the ageing of this professional group, the outflow of teachers from the profession, as well as working conditions. The conclusions of the analyses highlight the need to increase the attractiveness of the teaching profession to young people.
