Underemployment and administrative sluggishness are two sides of the same coin

In this wide world, environmental problems and what is related to global warming are no longer the root problem. Dilemmas multiply, and a new type of global warming has emerged, affecting the educational environment and eroding the educational system. On the other hand, he is possessed by weakness and lack of resourcefulness to face the challenges of work, life, and the requirements of the age.


The educational environment has become filled with teachers who lack passion and enthusiasm for work, and symptoms of hidden unemployment have appeared. Despite the existence of an official job, this job does not meet the teacher's needs and desires and does not work to highlight his full capabilities. This official job is often contrary to the teacher's whim and does not meet his requirements.


Underemployment is a social and economic problem, as employees in general and teachers in particular suffer from a lack of job satisfaction and a decline in motivation to work, which negatively affects economic growth and the standard of living of individuals and societies in general. The reason for underemployment may be attributed to the lack of real opportunities for professional development, which often stems from corruption and administrative slackness.


How can corruption and administrative sluggishness in the educational system contribute to implicit unemployment?
One of the most prominent and common reasons is duplication of dealing and unfair employment based on unethical criteria. Individuals with high qualifications and competence are ignored, which leads to the appointment of unqualified persons for educational positions and the promotion of those who do not deserve it. As a result, the educational system may suffer from a shortage of The competencies and skills necessary to provide quality education, which affects the quality of education and reduces job opportunities for qualified graduates. The situation is exacerbated by a lack of transparency and accountability as educational resources and opportunities are directed to schools or areas with strong ties to officials, while areas that may be in dire need of support are left behind. This leads to inequality in educational opportunities and increases the opportunity gap among students, poor quality of education and the isolation of professional development.


These reasons constitute a major factor in demolishing and weakening the morale of those teachers who make sincere efforts all their time and thus see with their own eyes that they are equal to those who are sitting and wasting their time until the end of work and receiving the same salary, thus entering into a clear contradiction between remaining on the principle of sincerity and dedication to work and using their time to develop himself and bringing about change in the workplace through production and serious work, making him feel that he is spending his work time on something useful to him and his work, thus increasing his self-confidence. Or catch up with the flabby boat? He works on wasting time and gets a salary and benefits without any compensation, which leads to high costs of products and services without any meaning or benefit. Certainly, the greatest responsibility rests with those principals and officials in the educational field who use their authority in illegal ways, such as amending decisions based on personal interests and allowing the proliferation of corruption, nepotism, favoritism, nepotism, and personal interests, so they spread, with or without intent, hidden unemployment.


Therefore, the question remains: What is the best way to reduce the phenomenon of hidden unemployment?
The public job is basically an assignment that is not honorable. Work in it is dependent on creativity and not idleness and sitting only waiting to receive the salary. Progress and development require thinking and seriousness in work and breaking out of the mold of imitation and imitation of others to the world of creativity and innovation. Certainly, there are many methods of treatment for this phenomenon, which lie in determining the powers of managers when making appointments to remain based on a scientific and objective basis and to be based on competence, skill and equal opportunities within the conformity of qualifications and experience with the job description. And that teachers are evaluated scientifically based on monthly reports and away from favoritism and personalization, and that the principle of reward and reward be strengthened with the aim of learning, so it is not reasonable to reward those who do not work with those who work, because that is glorifying slackness and destroying the morale of the innovator, as well as moving away completely from the issue of permanent and eternal employment. He works diligently and deserves to remain at the top of his work. Otherwise, the concerned authorities must send them to various training courses in order to become productive elements, whether they remain in their workplace or in any other workplace.


The educational system bears a great burden in the problem of slackness and implicit unemployment, because all working human cadres are among its outputs, and they bear the greatest burden in changing the intellectual and behavioral structure of its members so that they are able to lead society and solve problems with methods based on rationality, awareness, transparency and conscious boldness. Educational systems must provide intellectual climates that are open to their environments and societies, capable of developing mental habits that move students from the level of limitations, naivety, and simplicity in understanding and perception to the level of critical analysis away from illusions and fantasies, and to build generations capable of dealing effectively with the data of the twenty-first century.
