I. Problem Statement 
A. Description of Issue: Puerto Rico’s government is debating on what age and time 
teachers should send their retirement. The government is discussing on changing the 
age/time for the teacher’s retirement to a higher age/time rather than the age/time limit 
that was established years before. Teachers are marching to the Senate to stand their 
voices towards this disruptive change. After this step taken by the teachers a 
controversy has taken place. 
B. Problem Statement: Here in Puerto Rico teachers send their retirement when they 
reach their 30 years of maximum service of working with the Department of Education. 
After discussions between the governor and the senators they decided that teachers must 
have 32 or 33 years of service at the age of 60 – 65. This has taken the teachers by 
surprise because not every teacher started working at a younger age and don’t have a lot 
of years of service.
