Teachers Vanishing: Why Schools Are Struggling | Jamaica News

The school year’s almost here, but teachers are still missing in action—schools are scrambling to fill gaping vacancies, with some spots left unfilled even after hiring. It’s not just a local issue; globally, educators are quitting for better pay and conditions, while other countries are actively poaching them. Hard-to-fill subjects like industrial arts and foreign languages, plus schools in underserved areas, are hit hardest.
