More than 80 per cent of teachers said their mental health has been negatively impacted by their work amid the Covid-19 pandemic in a nationwide survey.

They cited long hours as one reason, with 80.6 per cent indicating they worked more than 45 hours a week.

This is above the average for the working population in Singapore, said the Singapore Counselling Centre (SCC), which conducted the study.

Results of the mental well-being survey of 1,325 teachers working in levels from pre-schools to junior colleges was released on Wednesday (Sept 22).

More than 62 per cent said their physical health had also declined, reporting ailments such as irritability, insomnia and recurring headaches.

Almost half, or about 43 per cent, said their personal relationships suffered and around 33 per cent fell sick easily.

SCC had sent the teachers the survey via e-mail or through social media from Aug 13 to Sept 3. The e-mail addresses were listed on their school websites.
