The NDP government claims they’ve filled 90% of its 3,500 open teacher positions in the province
The Prince George District Teacher’s Association (PGDTA), however, says there’s still a shortage given the recent flu season and lack of teachers on-call
“We realize the government needs to help districts identify teachers on call, but considering we’ve achieved the single largest hiring in generations, British Columbians are pretty happy.”
Rob Fleming, Education Minister
Fleming believes there are plenty of openings in the North, whose districts can provide as much support as needed
