Teacher shortage in Connecticut

Connecticut has few teachers to fill vacancies. "More than 2,600 teacher and paraeducator positions went unfilled in the spring of 2023, according to research conducted by the Connecticut State Department of Education." According to U.S. News, they have turned to college students to occupy roles in the classroom. They offer mortgage and loan forgiveness benefits to encourage graduates, but it is a waiting game. In the meantime, Connecticut continues to have ongoing teacher vacancies.

Teacher Shortage reports claim, "Based on news and state reports, we estimate that there are at least 55,000 vacant teacher positions in the United States."
