Loan Forgiveness for Educators Act of 2026: Cancels student loans for educators in high-need schools and early childhood education programs.
The Loan Forgiveness for Educators Act of 2026 amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to enhance student access to a well-prepared, diverse, and stable educator workforce by eliminating debt burdens for educators in return for service teaching and leading in high need schools or early childhood education programs. The bill defines qualifying educators as elementary or secondary school teachers, early childhood educators, and school leaders who meet specific certification and licensure requirements. It allows for the verification of qualifying service by school leaders or administrators.
