COLUMBUS, Ohio-New legislation in Ohio aims to lower requirements for becoming a teacher, with Senate Bill 168 proposing changes such as allowing anyone with a master’s degree to teach, regardless of their field of study, and permitting unlicensed teachers in classrooms.
The bill comes in response to a teacher shortage exacerbated by factors like excessive paperwork, low pay, and concerns from parents and students, particularly highlighted during the pandemic. Supporters argue that prioritizing education is crucial, and legislators are exploring new avenues to address teacher vacancies.
