Demand For Teachers Expected To Rise Within this decade the demand for teachers is expected to rise. The increased birthrate in Iowa and those who fled the profession due to the unavailability of jobs, account for these openings. Dr. Ross Nielsen, Head of Teaching, reports that at present less than five percent of high school graduates choose to enter into the field of teaching. The department continues to receive funding for a broad array of experimental and developmental research projects. Financing is provided by various governmental and private agencies or programs.
