From 2010-2015, North Carolina’s public university teacher training programs experienced a 30 percent decrease in enrollment. Meanwhile the state also saw a high rate of teacher turnover.

Host Frank Stasio talks with Adam Rhew, reporter for EducationNC, about the state’s teacher pipeline and efforts to reverse the shortage.
EducationNC is conducting a survey about the pipeline. Fill out the survey below.
