Reauthorize the Teacher Quality Partnership program through fiscal year 2024 and expand teaching residency eligibility to certain undergraduates, including Public Service Loan Forgiveness participation for those students.

This bill reauthorizes through FY2024 the Teacher Quality Partnership program and otherwise revises the program to allow certain undergraduate students with an academic major related to teaching to enter into teaching residency programs. In addition, the bill allows undergraduate students who enter into such a program to participate in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

As sponsor of the STRONG Act of 2021, Trahan backed reauthorizing the Teacher Quality Partnership program through FY2024, expanding undergraduate access to teaching residency programs, and allowing those students to participate in Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

The STRONG Act will provide teachers with long-overdue support and address our ongoing difficulty with teacher retention by establishing a strong pipeline of teachers ready to hit the ground running in classrooms across America. This legislation should be voted on without delay so that we can implement these commonsense solutions immediately.

Trahan called for passage of the STRONG Act, which would support teacher residency programs, expand undergraduate eligibility, allow certain participants to access Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and authorize $600 million for teacher preparation programs.
