This study aimed to determine the views of teachers working in public schools regarding their pursuit of postgraduate education. The study group consists of teachers working in public schools affiliated with the Hatay Provincial Directorate of National Education in the 2023-2024 academic year. A semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher, consisting of three questions, was used as a data collection tool to ascertain teachers’ views on postgraduate education. This qualitative research employed the phenomenology model as the method. The findings reveal that teachers wish to pursue postgraduate education to enhance their personal development, increase their motivation, and stay updated with new knowledge. However, they face challenges in meeting the admission requirements for postgraduate education. Additionally, the heavy workload at school prevents them from allocating sufficient time for postgraduate studies, and they feel pessimistic due to the limited availability of postgraduate education quotas at universities.
