One of NC’s top education leaders warns that North Carolina teachers are leaving in droves. Here’s why.
Over the past three years, one-third of North Carolina educators chose to leave the teaching profession, North Carolina Association of Educators President Tamika Walker Kelly said at a press conference outside the General Assembly on Tuesday.
Kelly says that teachers are being forced to make this decision due to the state’s refusal to pay them properly and invest in public schools. Because of the public education funding shortfalls, educators and advocates are planning a large-scale protest May 1 in Raleigh.
