AN EDUCATION BILL THAT DIED IN THE NEW MEXICO SENATE LAST YEAR HAS BEEN APPROVED BY A HOUSE COMMITTEE. THE PROPOSAL, SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE CONRAD JAMES, WOULD ALLOW PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE AT LEAST A BACHELOR’S DEGREE TO TEACH PART-TIME, WITHOUT HAVING TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO GET A TEACHING DEGREE.
JAMES SAYS STUDENTS WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE EXPERTISE OF THESE PROFESSIONALS, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS OF TECHNOLOGY, MATH AND SCIENCE.
