艾伯塔省教师受到压力和过度劳动,在全省范围罢工,对系统变革的需求未得到满足。 Alberta teachers, stressed and overworked, strike provincewide amid unmet demands for systemic change.

一项2024年的全球研究发现艾伯塔省教师报告的压力水平是全世界最高, 42%的教师表示他们经历压力“很多”, 远远超过19%的全球平均水平。 A 2024 global study found Alberta teachers report the highest stress levels worldwide, with 42% saying they experience stress "a lot," far above the 19% global average. 由于繁重的工作量,包括课程规划、分级和课外工作,他们每周工作47小时,比全球平均水平多5小时。 They work 47 hours weekly—five hours more than the global average—due to heavy workloads including lesson planning, grading, and extracurricular duties. 只有日本、新西兰和新加坡的教师工作时间较长。 Only teachers in Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore work longer hours. 自2018年以来,教师被决策者看重的看法下降到13%。 Teachers’ perception of being valued by policymakers dropped to 13% since 2018. 这些调查结果恰逢全省范围教师罢工第二周,约有51 000名教育工作者参加,因为在课堂复杂程度不断提高,包括班级规模扩大和学生需求多样化,对系统变革的要求仍未得到解决。 These findings coincide with a second week of provincewide teacher strikes involving about 51,000 educators, as demands for systemic changes amid rising classroom complexity, including larger class sizes and diverse student needs, remain unresolved.
