The purpose of this research is to determine the problems of classroom teachers based on their teacher experiences. In order to achieve this goal, the problems of class teachers working in primary and secondary schools with low socio-economic level were handled separately. In the study, the pattern of qualitative research was used. 10 of the class teachers participating in the research have low socio-economic level, 11 are in the socio-economic level, and 9 are in the primary school with high socio-economic level. The data of the study were obtained through focus group interviews using a semi-structured interview form. The group interviews were conducted in 3 different schools and in groups of 4, 5 and 6 classroom teachers. Each interview lasted 30-40 minutes on average.
