Since most of the participants are teaching ICT subjects, most of the materials needed in teaching the subjects are hard to find. Teaching multiple subjects may be one of the most pressing issues among the participants since it is hard to manage. Teachers should provide consideration when it comes to assigning teaching loads. And that the support of colleagues, friends, and especially the family is a factor that helps the teacher cope up with the challenges of teaching TLE subjects.
