Teachers education; require partnership between community colleges and 4-year colleges to facilitate streamlined process to degree.

Summary

The bill would obligate presidents of Mississippi community and junior colleges to create written partnership agreements with one or more four‑year colleges or universities that offer state‑approved teacher‑education programs. These agreements must make it easier for students to transfer general‑education credits toward a bachelor's degree in teaching, and each community college is urged to partner with at least one institution that offers classes within its district. The aim is to provide a quicker, more affordable route for aspiring teachers, especially in areas with teacher shortages.
