COLUMBIA, S.C. The Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention and Advancement says that the number of teachers being hired is down in South Carolina, and State Education Superintendent Molly Spearman says more needs to be done to change that.
Molly Spearman understands the challenges of keeping teachers in the classroom before and during a pandemic.
“I know that we have had a teacher shortage for a number of years and we’ve been working on it, Spearman said, Trying to boost our teacher pay, trying to offer other rewards, perks like scholarships if you go teach we would pay your scholarship off- we’ve been doing some things like that. But there are just some real challenges.”
