This study explores the phenomenology of lived experiences of teachers and school managers within the context of Generation G in Sanandaj, Iran. Through qualitative methods, the research investigates the unique challenges and perceptions these educators face, emphasizing the cultural and social dynamics that impact their professional lives. Utilizing in-depth interviews with 24 participants, including 15 teachers and 9 school managers, the study reveals critical themes related to job stress, behavior management, and the impact of societal expectations. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of educational practices in a localized context, shedding light on the implications for policy and training.In conclusion, understanding the lived experiences of teachers and school managers in relation to Generation G is crucial for developing educational frameworks that meet the needs of contemporary learners.
