1 Job satisfaction of the School or Madrasah teacher’s in Bangladesh

“Job satisfaction of the School or Madrasah teacher’s in Bangladesh”

Teachers are a crucial element of educational opportunity structures. We call that education is

our Backbone and teachers are the grate creature of holly God to set up our Backbone. Teachers

are arguably the most important group of professionals for our nation’s future. Therefore, it is

disturbing to find that many of today’s teachers are dissatisfied with their jobs.

We are collecting data from several primary school teachers and Madrasah teachers. We are tried

to investigate the role of individual teacher background, school environment, and community

factors as influences on job satisfaction. Consistent with research elsewhere, results show that

younger, better-educated teachers are less satisfied, and suggest that teachers may be more

satisfied in schools with an organizational climate that supports collaboration.

First we discuss about our Secondary education level and Madrasah education levels.

Secondary School:

In our Country, Primary schools are three types of:

1. Government Primary School

2. Registered Government Primary School

3. Private kindergarten / Primary school (English and Bangla Standard)

High schools are two types of:

1. Government High School

2. Private High school (English and Bangla Standard)

Madrasah:

In our country, Madrasah education systems are three types of:

1. Alia Madrasah ( Government and Private)

2. Hafezi Madrasah (Private)

3. Qaumi Madrasah (Unregistered; 'Dawra Degree')

We describe Job satisfaction level in step by step;

Teacher background:

Young teachers, male teachers and teachers with greater human capital are less satisfied, while

teachers who are more socially similar to the local community are more satisfied in terms of

private schools and Madrasah.

.School environment:

Teachers are more satisfied in schools with better economic resources, in larger schools, in

schools where there are more opportunities for professional advancement, and in schools where

there is an organizational climate that supports teacher collaboration. School environment vary

by the system and also by the divisional factors.

Payment Schedule:

In the term of salary, Government teachers can take full amount of their salary. But, in most of

the private and registered school and Madrasah teachers can’t take the proper salary which they

want or in terms of salary scale. Some of the teacher said about the political problem, one owner

and some social factors, that Madrasah teachers are highly neglected by the society now a day.

Benefits:

As financial benefits, teachers are only taking only two times in a year. There are few

motivational benefits are applicable in some private schools only. In Madrasah, benefits are only

taken by the governing body, which are supplied by several sources. Teachers can take those

advantages in rare.

Technological impacts:

Now a day, Government of Bangladesh takes decision for give Computer in Schools and

Madrasahs. But those are only for Government institutes. But only a computer can’t change the

whole technological changes. There need an internet connection for knowing the world. But

teachers said that, computer is in head teacher room and any students or teachers don’t allow

touching it without permission. Teachers are covering their studies and works from lab or cyber

cafés.

Leadership:

In our country it is not possible to take the leadership from the senior people. Everywhere of our

country we may see the same scenario. There have some junior teachers which are trying to take

leadership; they are inside in a difficult situation by internal politics of senior teachers. It is for

all the schools and Madrasah. Most of the management of the schools is not taking any

suggestion from their teachers.

Communication:

Communication can be developing by internal source only. Sometimes teachers are not aware of

their school, what is going on. Teamwork is not available in every institution. Because, most of

the teachers are busy with their tuitions.

Performance feedback and recognition:

Motivational feedback or performance feedbacks are not continuing in every state of the schools

and Madrasah. Some of the teachers are not aware about performance rating or evaluating.

Teachers should not rated by students in anywhere in Bangladesh, teachers are taking their

profession by own skills for schools and Madrasah. Reward system is too much poor for major

schools and Madrasahs.

Colleagues:

Behavior is varying person to person. Teachers are always trying to maintain a good relation

with their colleagues. But still there are some internal politics or groupings are working

everywhere.

Stress:

Teachers are loved to teach. But when they don’t take any quality full students, they don’t give

their attention and teach well.

Community factors:

Teachers are more satisfied in communities with greater economic and social resources, and in

communities that are less remote.

Overall Satisfaction:

Most of the teachers said that they are satisfied with their job. But some of them are dissatisfied

because of poor salary, education system, internal grouping or politics, management’s

unawareness, quality less schools, poor motivational factors.

Every person always dreams a better job. Private and registered school or Madrasah teacher are

trying to go for a Government School or Madrasah and also in a better job sector which is in

education related or not.
