Education deans at public universities in Kansas working on solutions to a K-12 teacher shortage want to dramatically expand over three years state financial aid for college students in education programs and to implement a partnership to uniformly compensate student teachers.

Another of 15 recommendations in the report draft would strengthen literacy instructional skills of teachers.
