Survey: One in four new teachers leave after first year
Haaretz - April 12, 2007
About 7,000 teachers leave the school system permanently every year, and
that number is rising.
This is the finding of a Central Bureau of Statistics survey that was
submitted recently to Education Ministry officials. While in 1991, 6.9
percent of all teachers left the education system, by 2002 the percentage
had climbed to 8.8 percent. The study found that in the secular state
schools, attrition in the first year of teaching was between 25 percent and
30 percent.
The figures include regular retirement, early retirement, medical release
and dismissals. Earlier studies estimated the annual attrition rate at about
5,000. According to Education Ministry Director General Shmuel Abuav,
however, despite the increased attrition rate there is no shortage of
teachers except in certain subjects such as English and the sciences.
