As an engineer, I think I would enjoy being a math or physics teacher. The bad pay, administration, and probability of having to combine multiple schools far away really puts me off...

I think the general attitude is most off putting.

What attitude? Of the students? Education minister Weyts? Other teachers? Society?

[–] Foezjie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. I even have a teaching degree and taught at a university college (hogeschool) for a few years.

Things are going well...

Glad I don't have children I have to worry about, but really concerned about the impact on the coming generation.

My oldest child is now in kindergarten. I hope we can fix this problem before they go to secondary school...

Weyts got the post at the end of 2019. You can see the problem spiral completely out of control under his lead. Maybe someone in his cabinet should look into how his predecessor curbed the rise of vacancies.
