In this paper, the author tries to make clear what problems on teachers exist in technical college.
We conducted several surveys: “The evaluation of the technical college system by teachers”, “Investigation on state of personnel changes” and “Analysis of the list of names”.
The results of these studies can be summarized as follows:
1) There are four groups on career pattern of technical college teachers: a group of college teachers' career, of high school teachers' career, of company employees' career and of the new graduates. Such diversity of career pattern is producing bad rather than good results in technical college. That is, the differences of those career patterns give rise to the split of opinion about educational points of view among technical college teachers.
2) The system of interchange of teachers between institutions does not exist, so the proportion of personnel interchanges is only 3.2 per cent on an average in a year. An adequate method that facilitates the interchange of personnel among technical colleges, therefore, must be found out.
3) Technical college teachers are carrying out the duties including those performed by high school teachers and even supervision of the dormitory. For that reason, they are put to the condition of overwork.
4) Though technical college is categorized under higher education institutions, personnel administration is based on principal-centered system. Therefore, freedom of technical college teachers on the personnel problems is fairly restricted by principal power.
5) The level of tecnical college teachers' salary has become lowest in all of the school systems since “The Law to Secure the Talented Person” became effective. Thus, many young teachers are strongly dissatisfied with the salary system in technical college.
