(Montreal) Several weeks after the start of the school year, 934 positions are still to be filled in the network according to the most recent data published by the Ministry of Education.
Among these positions, 176 are considered full-time and 758 part-time. On its website, the ministry describes a position to be filled “when no person is assigned to it, regardless of their status and qualifications.”
He emphasizes that a position to be filled “does not systematically imply an interruption of service since the Education Act provides for the obligation to provide education.”
For example, the school service center or the school board could call on a person who provides substitute teaching.
Remember that a few days before the start of the school year, the toll was much heavier. The Minister of Education, Bernard Drainville, launched a heartfelt cry to retired teachers and people who might be interested in trying the teaching experience, while he had to fill more than 8,500 teaching positions.
A few days later, on August 29, Mr. Drainville rejoiced that the number of vacancies was now 1,829. He assured that despite the shortage of teachers there would be at least one adult in each class.
