TEACHER SHORTAGE AT “CRISIS LEVEL” IN PENNSYLVANIA  

A push for more financial literacy in Pennsylvania schools is being met with opposition.  The worsening teacher shortage is the main roadblock.  The State Education Association says the shortage is at a “crisis level” currently.  Over the past ten years, there’s been a 73-percent decline in first-year teaching certificates issued in the state, which is severely impacting the implementation of new curriculums.
