National
Teacher shortages are becoming an increasingly widespread global challenge, with nearly 40% of 15-year-olds attending schools where principals said staffing shortages hindered instruction in 2025, up from 27% in 2018, according to OECD data. The share of teachers working without full certification has also increased in two-thirds of countries reporting data, with nearly one in 10 primary and secondary teachers across OECD countries not fully qualified in 2025. Schools are struggling particularly to recruit qualified STEM educators, while growing demand for special education and multilingual-learner support is adding to staffing requirements despite declining student enrollment in many countries. In the U.S., teachers generally work longer hours and spend more time teaching than the OECD average, but report comparatively strong morale and satisfaction with employment conditions beyond salary. The U.S. also draws more heavily on career changers, with 16.3% of teachers having previously spent at least a decade in another profession, nearly double the OECD average of 8.4%. The OECD argues that improving working conditions, leadership, career opportunities, and how teachers’ time is structured will be important to attracting and retaining educators.

California
California teachers unions are campaigning heavily for Proposition 3, a November ballot measure that would make permanent higher state income tax rates on the top 2% of earners that have been in place since 2012 and are otherwise due to expire in 2031. According to the article, the measure is projected to generate $5bn-$15bn annually for the state’s general fund, with 40%, or $2bn-$6bn, going to schools and community colleges. The Yes on 3 campaign had raised $46.8m as of September 24, including $33.3m from the California Teachers Association and $10m from the National Education Association, while the opposition had raised $5,500. Teachers are also canvassing statewide, with more than 1,200 educators knocking on nearly 39,000 doors during a September 19 campaign event. A September 25 UC Berkeley Institute for Governmental Studies survey cited by the article found 54% support for Proposition 3, 40% opposition, and 13% undecided.

Texas
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is requesting $97.3bn for K-12 education over the next two years, an increase from the current budget of about $91bn. Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said the TEA is "largely a pass-through vehicle to fund schools around the state of Texas," indicating that most funds will be allocated to school districts. The request includes $49.6bn for fiscal year 2027-28 and $47.7bn for 2028-29, aimed at preserving "100% of all funding for public schools" through the Foundation School Program. Morath emphasized the need for a resilient education system, stating, "Together, we can forge a path toward a more resilient and successful education system that serves the needs of all Texans." Additionally, some Texans are advocating for an increase in the basic allotment for per-student funding, which currently stands at $6,215.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has led to significant concerns about cheating, with 70% of teens admitting to using AI for schoolwork, according to a Common Sense Media survey. Paige Wyatt, a former high school English teacher, expressed frustration over the lack of support for educators in detecting AI-generated cheating, stating, “We really need real consequences.” Despite some states implementing AI guidelines, many documents fail to address cheating directly, focusing instead on AI literacy. Justin Reich, a professor at MIT, noted the urgency of the situation, saying: “If you just let this run amok in secondary schools, all kinds of learning activities will stop.” As educators struggle to adapt, the need for effective policies and support systems becomes increasingly critical.
