My frame of reference is probably more limited but I recently heard many of the same observations from speakers at the Chabad annual asifah for their shalichim and the Agudah convention several weeks ago. I do believe there is a shortage of qualified teachers, Covid accelerated an existing trend towards retirement among some of the better albeit older teachers and we are not paying enough attention to chinuch training for the new newly recruited replacements (nor are we paying sufficient salaries but I suspect that will always be an issue)
