Teacher motivation is the key to the success of any school. If teachers are not interested in their work, do not feel valued and respected, then this negatively affects the quality of education, the atmosphere in the classroom and, as a result, the results of students.

Why is teacher motivation so important?
- Motivated teachers are more effective. They are more likely to use innovative teaching methods, create an exciting and stimulating environment for students, and achieve high results.
- Motivated teachers create a more positive atmosphere in the classroom. Students who learn from motivated teachers are more involved in the learning process, feel more confident and have higher achievements.
- Motivated teachers stay in the profession longer. Teachers who feel valued and respected are less likely to leave the profession, which allows schools to retain valuable staff and ensure continuity of experience.

- Salary and benefits. Teachers should receive fair wages and have access to social packages that will allow them to lead a decent lifestyle.
- Professional development. Teachers need the opportunity to develop professionally, master new teaching methods and improve their skills.
- A sense of appreciation and respect. Teachers should feel appreciated for their work and contribution to children’s education.
