On August 31, 2018, New Jersey Monthly published a magazine article by Leslie Garisto Pfaff on innovative public education across The Garden State. The article cited JerseyCAN:
One probable cause of our lag in STEM is a lack of qualified teachers. Given that STEM professionals can earn significantly more working in the STEM fields than teaching those subjects, it’s hard for schools to recruit the best candidates. And many experts believe that our teaching methods are woefully out of date. A 2017 report issued by the educational advocacy organization JerseyCAN noted that “our current education system was built for an industrialized age of standardization. In our globally connected and fast-changing world, we need to free the education system to innovate.”
