These issues include multicultural education, teacher training and accreditation, burn-out, teaching under conditions particular to a certain country worldwide, student behaviour and preparation, computers in the classroom, parental influence on the teaching process, the changing curriculum and its meaning for teaching, budgetary problems, and a multitude of similar issues.
