Dorina Ramos (right) helps freshman Cesar Nava, 15, with a worksheet in a physical science class in Schuyler. Schuyler Community Schools hired Ramos and 12 other Filipino teachers for the 2024-25 school year. While the district would prefer to hire locally, the international hires have helped ease the teacher shortage following a large number of departures.

Filipino teachers /COPYRIGHT RESTRICTED

Rona Cariit (left) helps Erika Millan, 7, with a worksheet while teaching second grade at Schuyler Elementary School. She is one of 13 teachers hired from the Philippines by the district. A number of Nebraska school districts have looked overseas to find new teachers.

Dorina Ramos passes out a worksheet while teaching a lesson in a physical science class in Schuyler. A group of teachers from the Philippines moved to Schuyler this year to teach under H-1B visas.

Rona Cariit teaches second grade at Schuyler Elementary School. The U.S. and Filipino education systems share many similarities, but there also are some glaring differences, Cariit noted.

Dorina Ramos earned a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s in teaching in the Philippines. She came to Nebraska to teach at Schuyler Community Schools for the 2024-25 school year. She and other Filipino teachers say they plan to stay in the district for the coming school year. 

Dorina Ramos (right) helps freshman Cesar Nava, 15, with a worksheet in a physical science class in Schuyler. Schuyler Community Schools hired Ramos and 12 other Filipino teachers for the 2024-25 school year. While the district would prefer to hire locally, the international hires have helped ease the teacher shortage following a large number of departures.

Dorina Ramos left her family and life in the Philippines to teach at Schuyler Community Schools. Nebraska’s teacher shortage has forced some districts to widen their search beyond the U.S.
