Trends & Issues
According to the NCES report, The Condition of Education, an increasing
number of K-12 schools are forced to rely on new and out-of-field teachers to fill the
gap for teaching science and mathematics, often resulting in a
substantial decline in quality, depth and individual attention students receive.
