Only 1.3% of K-12 teachers are Black men—a stat that hits home in the Triangle, where many young men are still disconnected from jobs or school. Now, a $500,000 grant is letting NCCU researchers dig into why so few guys, especially Black men, see education as a career. Their work will look at all young men in the area, hoping to break down barriers and spark real change. What do you think keeps young men from choosing teaching—and what could help turn that around? #Education #College #TriangleNC
