Abstract
Life is stressful, and it is experienced through many daily realms: families, friendships, school,
and work. Due to the commonality of stress as a theme, many professionals have studied it.
Specifically, certain researchers have focused their attention on stress in the education
profession. These studies indicate that students, work resources, and school organizations seem
to be major contributors within teacher stress. This project looks at the universalities of stress for
educators. To do so, this paper looks at a particular population of eight teachers in Morocco via a
qualitative survey addressing the following questions: “To what extent do Moroccan educators
feel overwhelmed with stress? What makes Moroccan educators stressed?”, “To what extent do
Moroccan teachers leave their profession because of teacher stress? What effect does stress have
on Moroccan teachers?”, and “To what extent do Moroccan’s utilize coping mechanisms to
handle teacher stress? What makes Moroccan educators stressed?”. The respondents indicated
that they are stressed through their education profession, to the point that some are considering
leaving their career. The participants suggest that the factors that cause them stress are the size of
the school, the lack of administration, the style of the school, the location of the school, the
students, and the parents. In order to manage their stress, the respondents ranked their coping
strategies. The implications of this study invite conversations about the potential of universality
of stress, the potential experiences of stress, and possibilities for managing professional stress in
education.
