We often hear in the news that there are big problems with health and education. So we asked a nurse and a teacher to tell us about the challenges they face.


Nurse – Joan Montgomery I love being a nurse, but there are problems. I think people are less healthy than they were in the past. I don’t know why. Do people eat too much junk food these days? Are they eating enough fresh fruit and vegetables? Are they doing enough exercise?


But the biggest problem is that we have too much work to do because there are not enough nurses. This is because there is not enough money to pay good salaries. We have enough doctors because they are paid well.


Teacher – Nabil Hussein The main problem in the classroom is that there are too many children in each class. I have 50 students in my maths class and it’s really difficult to teach them all. And I think the children have too much homework. They are only ten years old so why are they doing two hours’ homework every night? Maybe that’s why some of the children are tired in class. Or maybe they watch too much television at home. I think a lot of the problems are from outside school. For example, some parents do not spend enough time with their children.
