Abstract: Secondary education in Bangladesh faces numerous challenges, with teachers, as key stakeholders, bearing much of the pressure. This study explores the educational system in Bangladesh and examines various issues faced by teachers in their profession. A semi-structured interview method was employed to gather data, with participants selected from the northern region of Bangladesh to provide a comprehensive view of the problems within secondary schools. The findings revealed that the majority of teachers identified administrative challenges, inadequate infrastructure, overcrowded classrooms, lack of professional development opportunities, and excessive workloads as common issues in their profession. The study's implications aim to shed light on these challenges, urging authorities to take necessary steps to address and resolve them.
