Teachers of English learners would become eligible for federal student loan forgiveness and cancellation.
This bill would make teachers who work with English learners or teach bilingual classes eligible for existing federal student loan forgiveness and cancellation programs. Currently, these programs mainly cover teachers in subjects like math, science, and special education. If passed, this change would take effect immediately for eligible teachers.
Today, federal student loan forgiveness and cancellation programs for teachers primarily cover subjects like math, science, and special education. If this bill becomes law, it would expand these programs to include elementary and secondary school teachers whose main job is teaching English learners or who are bilingual or dual language immersion teachers. This means more teachers would have the opportunity to reduce their student loan debt.
