Teaching losing appeal in Quebec

 

According to the Gazette, teachers in the province are getting turned off by the slow progression of their careers.

 

Many teachers surveyed are considering leaving the profession if they don't have a permanent position. Currently in Quebec, 55 000 teachers hold permanent jobs out of about 90 000.

 

Teachers in Quebec are paid 17 per cent less than their colleagues throughout Canada. 

 

They blame the lack of progress in their profession as the main reason behind the high school dropout rate in province stuck at thirty per cent.
