A coalition of education stakeholders has called on the government to expand teacher training programs beyond traditional institutions, arguing that current restrictions limit access to qualified educators. The proposal emphasizes the need for more flexible and inclusive pathways to ensure schools—particularly in underserved areas—can attract and retain skilled teachers. Critics highlight that rigid eligibility criteria may discourage experienced professionals from re-entering the field or hinder alternative training models. The push comes as concerns grow over persistent shortages in the teaching workforce, raising questions about how policy changes could reshape education quality nationwide.
