More competitive pay — not lowering standards for educators — should be a key part of addressing a national teacher shortage, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“Unless we’re serious about providing competitive salaries for our educators, better working conditions, so that they can continue to grow … we’re going to constantly deal with shortage issues, especially in our areas that are harder to teach or where there are less candidates,” Cardona told host Margaret Brennan.
