| Candidates must pass five exams. Each exam costs over $100 and tests
| would-be educators on core subjects, such as math and science, as
| well as fluency in the targeted language and teaching strategies.

| "I don't know any profession in the United States that requires five
| tests to become certified," Rosado said.
|
| Rosado said enrollment in his department of bilingual education is
| declining, and the rigorous certification process leads some
| students to choose a different profession that does not require the
| same amount of testing, Rosado said.

| A 2023 state teacher vacancy report recommended that Texas subsidize
| certification exam fees and provide hiring incentives for bilingual
| teachers as a way to fight shortages.
