Abstract
This study aimed at clarifying the relationship between teachers’ mental health and their
professional advancement, educationally, pedagogically and emotionally. A special
questionnaire was prepared for the current research with the assistance of previous
literature. The questionnaire was delivered to (90) teachers who teach at governmental
high schools in the district of Salfeet during the years 2015/16. I came to the following
conclusions:
When teachers feel secure it becomes possible for them to better mold their teaching
goals and practice their job more adequately. However, when they feel a sort of
inconvenience, their pedagogical performance will be negatively influenced. A happy
teacher will definitely convey his feeling to students especially when he is found in the
peak of happiness. Gender and expertise had no influence on the relationship between
teachers mental health and their educational and pedagogical advancement, the finding
show. Moreover, a positive correlation was witnessed between teachers’ mental health
and their educational and pedagogical development. In addition, the findings show no
relationship between teachers’ level of mental health and their emotional balance.
In light of the above mentioned findings, I came to the following recommendations:
1. The necessity of providing teachers with sufficient care and interest in order to
reduce their psychological pressure.
2. Initiating frequent sessions between teachers and those who are in-charge in
order to give teachers the opportunity to lower psychological tension
