As the new school year approaches in Quebec, this province is facing a serious shortage of teachers. It is expected that the enrollment of about 20,000 new students in elementary schools and high schools in this province will worsen the situation compared to previous years. The teacher shortage is caused by many teachers retiring and leaving the profession, while the number of students is increasing.
The Quebec Ministry of Education has not announced the exact reason for the increase in the number of students, but the increase is mainly attributed to immigration. The head of the Quebec Teachers Association has warned that the shortage could lead to the use of unqualified people in classrooms.

The provincial government has tried to manage the shortage by making changes to teacher and school contract renewals and making sure teaching positions are filled sooner than usual. The Minister of Education of Quebec, Bernard Drinville, has announced that these measures are aimed at providing reassurance to students, parents, and teachers.
However, the provincial school board and the Montreal English-language school board are working to address this shortage and minimize its effects on educational quality. The Quebec Ministry of Education will soon provide an updated report on the teacher shortage situation.
