§ 5192. Findings and declaration of intent
The General Assembly finds and declares that:
(1) The number of college students planning to enter the teaching profession appears to be inadequate to meet the need for teachers in our public schools.
(2) Demand from industry and other opportunities attract existing and potential teachers away from the profession.
(3) The pool of qualified teachers, especially those in math and science, has diminished.
(4) Economically hard-pressed rural and urban school districts find it difficult to attract qualified teachers from the diminished pool.
(5) Payment of a portion of student loans for certified teachers serves the important public purpose of encouraging new teachers to teach in economically hard-pressed areas of this Commonwealth.
