The number of non-regular teachers is increasing. This paper classifies non-regular teachers, who are becoming more diverse and complex, based on the relevant legal system, and clarifies the increase in their numbers and percentages.
Reasons for the increase in the number of non-regular teachers include reductions in salaries for teachers, responses to educational needs, restraints on regular employment, increases in maternity leave, childcare leave, and sick leave, and the enhancement of alternative replacement systems.
The non-regularization of teachers and staff is characterized by (1) the non-regularization of regular teachers, (2) the shift from full-time to part-time, (3) the rapid increase in reappointments, and (4) the increase in alternate substitutes.
Given that the non-regularization of teachers causes the deterioration of educational conditions, it is an important issue related to the system of compulsory education expenses covered by the national treasury.
