A key added pressure is the renewed repayment burden from student loans, affecting candidates and current classroom teachers through rising loan debt, increased costs of becoming an educator, and stagnant salaries amid a higher-cost economy. These pressures reduce education-bound bachelor’s graduates and intensify system strain, especially for educators of color.
