STORYLINE:
The cost of a college education in the United States has risen exponentially over the last few decades.
Data from College Board showed the average annual cost of public universities is 22,690 U.S. dollars for in-state students and 39,510 dollars for out-of-state students.
That figure was only 1,410 dollars per year in 1971.
Aside from rising college tuition, the country is also facing a growing shortage of primary and secondary school teachers.
School districts across the country have teacher shortfalls ranging from hundreds to thousands.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has been putting additional pressure on educators since early 2020.
