Quesnel’s Board Of Education Says Progress Is Being Made On Teacher Shortage

The Chair of Quesnel’s Board of Education says she’s confident that they are making progress in addressing the current teacher shortage in the District.

Gloria Jackson confirms that they currently have nine non-certified teachers in elementary schools in the District, but that she expects that number to go down…

“We have had some interest even in the last week from teachers from other districts that are interested in teaching in Quesnel, so we’ve seen that and then again with the recruitment that our HR Director has been doing, we’re seeing some positive results from that, we’re starting to see some movement across the province so we are hopeful that that number will go down.”

While acknowledging that it would be ideal to have certified teachers, Jackson says they are confident in the non-certified teachers who are teaching…

“They have degrees and experience with children and the district has done some professional development with them, and they are in our elementary schools and we are confident in the work that are doing.”
