Das japanische Bildungsministerium will die Überstunden für Lehrer an öffentlichen Schulen verbessern und die monatlichen Überstunden auf 45 Stunden oder weniger reduzieren, um die derzeit üblichen 60 bis 80 Stunden pro Woche auf etwa 50 zu reduzieren. „Wir wollen mit dem Bild aufräumen, dass dies ein schwieriger Arbeitsstil ist.“

I hope they are successful. As much as I hate on Japanese politics and customs all the time, I don’t want anyone here to suffer. I see teachers currently still at their desk at 10 pm or later. (Because they send me work related stuff that I mostly ignore till the next day and mention they are still at school)
However, knowing politics here, I believe this is going to require some serious reforms that I’m not sure they are going to be willing to make. So I believe it when I see it.
You can tell people to go home early all you want, but if the reality of the work doesn’t allow it, it’s not gonna happen.
The principal reduced overtime hours at the school I work at by telling teachers that they had to leave by 5:30pm once a week.
Teachers just came in earlier the next day to complete the work they couldn’t the previous afternoon.
But hey, the principal looked good, and that’s what really counts, right?
BOE need a budget to pay for outsiders to handle 部活. If they can hire people to teach all the clubs, from sports to brass band, and leave the teachers to only teach it would greatly decrease their hours. Also, some of the teachers at my school commute 120km a day! They need to stop moving teachers to school far away from their homes.
Worse is their students don’t want to become teachers as they see the shitty lives they lead
