Louisiana Needs More Qualified Teachers; LSU’s Tiger Teacher Corps Is Answering the
Call
Louisiana faces a significant teacher shortage, with approximately 1,000 vacancies
statewide, leaving many classrooms without certified teachers. Strengthening the teacher
pipeline is critical not only for classroom stability today but also for the future.

Corps (TTC) plays a critical role in ensuring the long-term health of the state's
education system.
