Pennsylvania's teacher shortage is getting worse, according to a new study from Penn State. Just a little more than 4-thousand college students graduated with education degrees last year... compared to some 15-thousand just 8 years ago. That's according to Dr. Ed Fuller from Penn State's College of Education. Load Error "Pennsylvania used to be one of the leading exporters of teachers to other states", he says. "And now we can't produce enough to fill the vacancies in our own state". And he says for the first time in the state's history, the amount of emergency teaching permits outpaced newly certified teachers.
