Abstract

In recent years, the job burnout rate of teachers in China has been on the rise. After reviewing the literature and combining the actual situation of rural primary and secondary school teachers in Shaoguan, it is found that the main factors affecting the job burnout of primary and secondary school teachers are: the pressure brought by the new curriculum reform, teachers' mental health, social expectations and the evaluation mechanism. To effectively alleviate the problem of job burnout of rural teachers, it is necessary to propose targeted solutions. In this regard, schools should pay attention to teachers' needs, provide teachers with social support, improve school management, and carry out mental health education for teachers. Teachers should also learn to self-regulate and maintain their mental health.
