Burnout is not a weakness — it is a systemic problem
According to a 2025 Eurofound survey, as many as 38% of teachers in Central Europe experience symptoms of burnout. This is not individual failure — it is the result of long-term overload and growing demands from parents, the system and society.
What school management can do
Schools that actively work on teacher wellbeing record lower absenteeism, higher staff retention and better student outcomes. Concrete steps: regular supervision meetings, rotation of high-load duties, clear boundaries between work and personal time.
Proven practice: Schools involved in our Wellbeing & Resilience course report that after six months of implementation, the number of sick days fell by 22%. Change comes through culture, not mandates.
Erasmus+ as a prevention tool
Teachers who participate in a course abroad report significantly higher motivation on return. A change of environment and contact with colleagues from other countries act as burnout prevention — it is an investment in team stability.
