Why don't public schools pay for a teacher's education?

This article examines the lack of funding for teacher education in public schools. It argues that inadequate funding is a major obstacle to ensuring that public schools have well-trained teachers. It explains that the cost of tuition, books and fees for teacher education programs are often too much for public school systems to bear. It also outlines the potential long-term impacts of not adequately funding teachers’ education, including classroom overcrowding, lower teacher pay and lack of resources. Finally, it suggests that policy makers should consider increasing or creating additional funding sources to support teacher education in public schools.
