Abstract

This paper analyzes the problems and impacts of non-teaching workloads on the quality of education. When teachers must spend a lot of time on tasks that are not related to teaching. This leaves teachers with no time to prepare for teaching and follow up on learners' learning outcomes in detail. Teachers play an important role in improving the quality of education, both in transferring knowledge and developing the necessary skills of learners, and the use of technology as a tool in teaching and learning is important to promote sustainable and adaptive learning. Teachers must develop learning management skills that meet the diversity of learners and promote critical thinking and communication skills. Teachers also face non-instructional workloads, such as documentation and coordination, which results in little time for teachers to fully prepare for instruction and supervise students. This reduces the quality of teaching and learner development. Research has shown that excessive workload increases stress and fatigue for teachers. This makes it impossible to fully commit to teaching. Reducing non-teaching workloads and supporting teachers in other tasks is an important way to increase teaching efficiency and improve the quality of education. The use of technology and restructuring in educational institutions is an effective approach to reduce workload and return teachers to the classroom. This will allow teachers to focus more on developing learners, which will affect the long-term development of the quality of education.
