Teaching job cuts in Ontario could offer fix for B.C.’s teacher shortage woes, B.C. education minister says GlobeBC
Plans to cut thousands of teaching jobs in Ontario could offer the solution to British Columbia’s teacher shortage.
B.C. has added roughly $1-billion in education funding over the past two years, to meet the requirements of the court order. The money was expected to restore specialist teachers such as counsellors and special-needs resource educators.
“There are going to be additional teaching opportunities in B.C. for the foreseeable future,” he said. B.C. has been recruiting teachers in Europe and across Canada. Last year, the province’s public schools hired 850 teachers from outside B.C., and 500 of them were from Ontario.
