The document discusses the problem statement and research questions for a study about teacher retirement in Puerto Rico. Specifically: - The Puerto Rican government is debating changing the retirement age/years of service requirements for teachers, from the current 30 years of maximum service to 32-33 years of service until age 60-65. This change surprised many teachers who did not start working at a younger age. - The study aims to research several questions about the current and proposed retirement requirements/benefits for Puerto Rican teachers, the impact on instruction, and the perspectives of beneficiaries and the government regarding the disruptive changes.
