## Resource

Teachers are fleeing public schools in record numbers, sparking alarm from the Public Servants Association as crime, underfunding, and crushing workloads drive experienced educators out — leaving classrooms overcrowded, curricula weakened, and students’ futures at risk. With over 32,000 teachers departing between 2020 and 2024, the PSA is demanding urgent action: safer schools, better resources, reduced administrative burdens, and swift hiring to reverse the damaging “brain drain” before it cripples the nation’s education system.
