Abstract
This study investigates the challenges faced by novice Islamic education teachers in Sarawak’s secondary schools. Employing a phenomenological approach, it explores their lived experiences, beliefs, and strategies in promoting Islamic teachings. Limited research has examined the realities of early-career Islamic education teachers in East Malaysia, making this study timely and significant. Data were collected through purposive sampling and online interviews, offering rich perspectives on teachers’ adaptation and classroom practices. The findings reveal teachers’ personal initiatives to sustain Islamic education, alongside strategies to address common difficulties. However, heavy administrative duties and the demand for extensive online documentation emerged as major obstacles that undermine effective teaching. Participants also proposed ways to enhance systemic support and reduce workload burdens. The study concludes by discussing implications for policy and practice, offering recommendations to improve professional conditions and mentoring for novice educators. It highlights the critical role of Islamic education teachers in nurturing students’ moral and spiritual growth, while underscoring the need for stronger institutional support in their professional journey .
