Although almost all US teachers hold at least basic qualifications - a bachelor's degree and teaching certification - many are teaching subjects for which they lack adequate academic training, certification, or both. This mismatch, commonly termed out-of-field teaching, has been a major policy concern. Most of these teachers are found teaching math and science
A study in 2002: Math teachers - 1/5 were either not fully certified or certified in a field other than mathematics. Certification rates of mathematics and science teachers declined from 1990 to 2002. This downward trend has continued
Declines also occurred among biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science teachers.
