Philadelphia school teachers are leaving the profession at the highest rate in Pennsylvania, according to a new study by Penn State University.
Philadelphia Federation of Teachers boss Jerry Jordan acknowledged the report in an interview with FOX 29, and blamed the trend on a lack of resources, support, pay, and COVID concerns.
It's not just a trend in Philadelphia. The report also found the teacher attrition rate across the state grew faster in the 2022-2023 school year and hit its highest point in a decade. "Why would they want to go into such a profession and end up with student debt and a low salary as well," Jordan said.
