Answer 1

The findings highlight the importance of effective workload management and support systems for teachers in primary school settings. Existing literature emphasizes that high workloads contribute to teacher stress, which can negatively impact job satisfaction and, consequently, student outcomes. Implementing comprehensive intervention strategies that alleviate administrative burdens and enhance support mechanisms enables teachers to focus more on their teaching responsibilities, ultimately fostering a positive learning environment for students (Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2017; Kyriacou, 2001).
