Abstract: The issue of early retirement dealt a great blow to the education system in Malaysia. This study aims
to identify the factors of early retirement among teachers and propose some recommendations in the
context of the preparation of trainee teachers. Data collection is carried out through a mixed
quantitative and qualitative approach using questionnaires and interviews. A simple sampling
technique was used to get feedback from the teachers to answer the research questions and get
participants for interviews. A total of 772 respondents participated in this questionnaire and 73 of them
agreed to be interviewed. Overall, the results of the study found that there are six dominant factors
identified and themed, namely workload, administrative pressure, social environment and bullying,
students and society, self-efficacy and infrastructure. Therefore, several recommendations are
extended for the attention of education lecturers and trainee teachers so that this issue can be more
controlled in the future. It is hoped that the results of this study can contribute to the implementation
of a healthier and better-quality education agenda. |
