In 2021, governors unsurprisingly focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for students, teachers and education more broadly. 50-STATE COMPARISON: ENGLISH LEARNER POLICIES 50-State Comparison: English Learner Policies. The population of English learners (ELs) in K-12 schools continues to grow.

Forty-five states reported a decrease in educator preparation program completion between 2008-09 and 2016-17.
