It aims to identify and study some of the challenges that teachers face, evaluate the contribution of the social, political, and economic factors in the educational process, and compare the challenges among public and private schools. The present study used a descriptive-analytical approach, and data was collected from 187 teachers through a questionnaire. The findings suggest significant barriers, \u2002including access to modern educational technology, a shortage of teaching resources, and a paucity of options for teacher training. But there\u2019s more going on for public schools, overcrowding in their classrooms, for private schools\u2019 unpredictable allocation of funds and resources, socio-political instability in the region, and the challenges faced by teachers in keeping students\u2002engaged and managing class behavior as well as addressing different learning needs further worsened the situation. In addition, the lack of\u2002administrative support and low parental participation hindered good teaching. The\u2002study also recommended enhancing teacher training programs, improving school infrastructure, providing continuous administrative and technical support, and stronger collaboration between schools and parents based on these findings. It also stressed increasing public awareness of the need for English language\u2002education. This article is one of several that aims to provide better insight into the\u2002educational challenges in Northern Syria while also offering real solutions to improve teaching and support educators in their professional&nbsp;capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: <strong>Difficulties, English Language Teachers, ESL , Northern
