Retiring Teacher Survey Results:
(by region and higher education institution)
The following survey is to be used as information purposes only. This survey is not a scientific analysis. Systems simply were asked to provide the number of Career and Technical Education teachers in each program area who are eligible for retirement within the next five years. This survey reflects the results reported and may or may not be accurate. Additionally, teachers may choose to teach longer or shorter than five years. The higher education numbers reflect the number of teachers in universities and colleges enrolled in the program area and reported on the survey. Again, the numbers only reflect enrollment reported at the time of the survey from reporting institutions.
