[Survey of 1,010 Teachers] 70% Say Work Style Reform 'Not Progressing'; Severe Reality: About 80% of Teachers Feel 'Reduced Job Satisfaction' Due to Busyness

Systech IT Solutions Inc. (Location: Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture, Representative Director: Katsuyoshi Ichi) conducted a survey targeting teachers at junior high and high schools nationwide regarding "Specific working hours of teachers and the expected value of reducing working hours through the introduction of school administrative support systems."

Even as reforms to teachers' working styles are called for, many school duties still rely on paper and manual labor, and daily workloads such as grade processing and lesson preparation remain significant.

Could these burdens be leading to increased working hours and a decrease in job satisfaction among teachers?
