Lawmakers had agreed to add three more North Carolina colleges and universities to a program that trains future teachers. The budget expanded the number of University of North Carolina schools and private institutions in the N.C. Teaching Fellows to eight programs. Teaching Fellows provides scholarships to people who want to teach in the fields of science, technology, engineering, math or special education. Some have complained that the program now has just five schools, none of which are historically black colleges and universities. The budget directs the N..C. Teaching Fellows Commission to choose a “diverse selection” of schools for the program.
