I’ve heard that there is a shortage of youchien teachers and hoikushi, and this is contributing to long wait lists for youchien/hoikuen. Why is this so? I can’t help but wonder if the working conditions and low pay are super tough for this field. I have heard that youchien teachers in my area only make 180k. Does anyone who works in this field/know someone who works in this field care to shed some light on this?
