Mentor by Google

Nearly 8% of teachers leave the profession each year; two-thirds leave before retirement, and enrollment in teacher education programs has dropped in recent years. With the slashing of educational budgets, many talented teachers are going. When states can’t replace them, legislation passes lowering qualifications, allowing unqualified teachers hired.

Now a record number of teachers retiring, and many leaving the profession altogether due to Covid-19. And forcing teachers to return to schools during a pandemic will contribute to this scarcity of talented and qualified teachers.

> Educators are paid low wages, with little concern for teaching supplies which in the end comes out of their pockets.

> They’re compelled to get a second job to make ends meet and Covid-19 makes it more difficult.
