This is (probably) why more Filipino teachers go to the states

Texas begs for teachers - with or without credentials Via CSMonitor and according to the article

While teacher shortages are easing in some areas, they remain a problem elsewhere, especially in the Sun Belt. Texas, for instance, needs 45,000 new teachers annually

Uh huh hence the influx of Filipinos academecians(sp) going abroad to impart more of their profession(al) skills rather than stay here in the Philippines. Not only that, the benefits(salary, housing car, bonuses) the teacher gets is much more than what they can earn here. Further more..

Many states are looking overseas to fill positions.But critics say the program would put untrained teachers into classrooms at a critical time

And I say the Filipino Teachers(sometime, most times)are better than their American counter part. And more highly qualified to do the job. The government should implement more attractive incentives for our teachers so students here can have the best education from teachers instead of the others benfiting from them.
