Ministry of Education says teacher shortage will continue for next ten years
NL TimesSchools will be suffering from teacher shortages for the next ten years, officials from the Ministry of Education wrote in an annual report on the subject. But State Secretary of Basic Education Marielle Paul has said that this is a temporary effect due to the expiration of the support program against corona backlogs. Compared to the total number of jobs, the teacher shortage amounts to approximately 8 percent in primary education and 5 percent in secondary education. For example, she was happy with the news that approximately 2,200 lateral entrants from another field became teachers this year, which "approaches last year's record.” She also said that a positive factor was that regional collaborations between schools are getting underway and are leading to creative solutions to the teacher shortage.
