Ontario is facing a teacher shortage as retirements and student enrolment are on the rise.

The Ministry of Education expects the situation will start to get worse in 2027 .

The warning is contained in a series of briefing documents for the new minister of education.

The issue is particularly felt in areas such as French and tech education.

The province and the federal government have put more than $23 million toward a French Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy since 2021-22 .

The requirement to complete a two-year , “academic, not employment-based program and move from rural or remote areas” is also a barrier to getting more Indigenous teachers.

Demand for Indigenous language courses is rising, with eight per cent and 14 per cent increases in enrolment in elementary and secondary courses, respectively.
