Criterion A
Design problem statement
How population growth affects teaching careers

Strand i. Explain and Justify the need:

It is a major problem because there is loads of competition in jobs especially in


teacher jobs and the person who is worthy to get that job doesn't and many face
lots of issues because of this.

The Age group that is getting affected by this issue is between age 25 to 60 (
Teachers )

This problem is mostly occurring in major and popular cities where there are lots of
schools.

The middle class is getting affected by this because Middle class people , Most want
to teach so that they can earn as in cities the costs of living is high and salary is
low. So all people try to work and Many try to get a job in the teaching career and
The person who is worthy of the Job doesn't get it at times and many People Suffer
because of it.
If this problem gets no solution, then The Competition will keep increasing , Worthy
teachers won't get the jobs and this might lead to many issues such as
Unemployment and Poverty.

I think my solution will spread awareness of these issues and propose some
solutions which can help.

The cause of this problem is Overpopulation. As there are a lot of people in the city
and all need to earn their living they need to get the job and competition occurs
there.

MY EVIDENCE [SECONDARY RESEARCH]:

There is no one focusing on this problem right now but there are some websites
which state what happens because of competition -
https://www.wgu.edu/heyteach/article/how-teachers-can-deal-workplace-competiti
on1812.html

According to the Harvard Business Review, "The way leaders communicate about
competition can make employees experience anxiety or excitement about
competing." Leaders need to invest energy into fostering excitement instead of
"creating anxiety by singling out and highlighting low performers."

Strand ii. Identify and prioritize the research-


Identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to
develop a solution to the problem.

anyone else helpful for
facing the my solution
competition.

My primary research questions to ask target audience:


- Your Name ( Optional )
- Where Do You Teach
- Have You Ever Seen or known anyone facing difficulty or competition during
getting a job in the teaching career ?
- Have You Ever Faced difficulty or competition while getting a job in the
teaching career ?
- How do you think more applicants and increased competition affected
teachership jobs
- What Do You think Is the solution to This Problem

My primary research:
I conducted a google form survey from October to November, 2020. It is a link that
I have shared to my target audience that includes a form to answer with short
answers.

Link: https://forms.gle/W57E2s5FmGngirvRA

These are the results I collected: 10 People Responded and the answers say 98%
Faced or saw this Issue Occurring.

My conclusions- This Is a real existing issue which you can see in the data and it
needs a solution

After Going through the results I can see that most of the teachers like 96% Are
facing this issue and one of the responses by one of the teachers was In some
instances the candidate worthy of the position misses out on it. The candidate's
confidence and motivation decreases significantly after seeing numerous
candidates for the same job. Some use underhanded methods to secure the job.
Thus overall, the teaching industry is losing out on genuine and trustworthy
future teachers. And another one was to reduce the salary and perks given to
teachers. This is often observed in teachers working in other countries where
teachers from developing countries are paid less compared to the ones coming
from a developed nation. These Responses show that the problem is real and is
occurring and we need a solution for it.

Strand iii Analyse existing products


My Website

Strength There is no website which addresses the specific issue which is


competition in teacher jobs due to overpopulation

Weakness My Website isn't complex, It doesn't have a certification of


legitimate source. It doesn't Have Complex ui which attracts
people.

Opportunit We Have a big opportunity as if we cover topics which other


y websites don't then we can get greater volume in visits and the
information can spread fast.

Threat The Website Doesn't Have A Domain , There are several websites
that are Working on this topic.

Other Websites

Strength Popular , Trusted Source Tag , Higher Search Ranking.

Weakness Does Not Have Specific Information/Details about the Topic ,


Competition in teachers jobs due to overpopulation.

Opportunity They have higher search ranking which means they have a big
user database. If they constantly keep updating their information ,
they can spread information faster and earn more with ads.

Threat Too Many Ads , Slow Loading Speeds , No Space For Comments .

Strand iv. Develop a detailed design brief that


summarizes the analysis of relevant research

In India Overpopulation is a major issue which causes lots of issues such as


poverty and hunger. In this a big problem occurs is teacher jobs. In India
the population is 1.2 billion which is very high and that shows how many
people are there in india. If the population increases , the country needs
more jobs and females mostly prefer teacher jobs. At this point there are
300-500 applications going for each teacher job vacancy. Overpopulation
also causes another major problem, that is if a teacher is worthy for the job
, she/he doesn't get it. This is a major issue in india and it needs an solution
