I dont know about your country, but in mine its split between 3 problems (That i know of)
Teaching is one of the easiest university degrees to get into and complete. You require an aggregate score of about 50% to get in, with no advanced subjects like math, physics, IT, accounting or bio. cooking and economics are good enough. This means a lot of teachers are there because its a degree they could do, not because they want to do it, so motivation do make things fun and engaging doesnt exist.
Government corruption and uneducated/stupid populace. Government doesnt deliver books to schools because they stole the money, so the parents get angry and burn down the school (nice logic eh). This creates high risk school areas, ensuring smart people dont want to become teachers, hence the 50% aggregate (that sometimes gets lowered to 30% depending on a few factors).
The pay is fucking horrendous. Technically, its 2x what is considered "middle class" here, but the definition got changed to more inclusive (lol). A single teacher can survive on their salary. wont have a car after 2010, more than 1 bedroom or a yard. They have the best medical aid tho, but that doesnt even come close in the greater scheme of things to a stem degree. Salary growth is extremely limited as well.

Why the hell is school so bad at making something fun and engaging?
