Abstrakt/ Abstract: This paper identifies and categorizes problems that beginning geography teachers (BGTs) face in Czech lower secondary schools. Drawing on qualitative research, the author conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with BGTs from the Liberec Region. Respondents most frequently reported time pressure linked to lesson preparation, low remuneration, low perceived prestige of teaching geography, excessive administrative workload, and challenges with student behavior and special educational needs. Communication with parents was mentioned less often. Geography-specific issues included limited access to suitable teaching aids and the underuse of fieldwork and GIS despite their curricular relevance. Differences across schools were evident in equipment, lesson allocation, and support structures. These findings are compared with previous scholarly evidence, and several recommendations were made.
