The four major teachers’ unions said Tuesday they support that move by the OTF, saying the use of retired teachers was a ‘Band-Aid’ to a teacher recruitment and retention crisis
Ontario’s teachers have rebuffed a request from the Ministry of Education to let retired teachers work longer, saying the government needs to come up with a real solution to staff shortages.
“Changing the rule for retired members neither encourages working teachers to remain in the system nor does it attract prospective candidates to join the profession.” “And why are they leaving? Because the Ford government refuses to address the root causes of the issue: the learning and working conditions in Ontario schools coupled with the decade-long suppression of wages and inadequate recognition of teachers’ credentials and expertise.”
“The Ontario Teachers’ Federation will need to explain why it’s not a shared priority for them to put in place both short and long-term measures that will keep kids learning in class in front of a qualified teacher.”
