"The government says it will also establish a minimum practicum length as a way to emphasize real, in-class experience."
"Teachers' college in the province used to be one year, but in 2015 the then-Liberal government made it two years in response to a teacher surplus."
"Now, however, the province is grappling with a shortage, which internal ministry documents have in recent years said could get worse in 2027."
"Education Minister Paul Calandra says the changes for teachers' college will be included in legislation to be tabled Monday, which will also address school board governance and trustees."
Teachers' college in Ontario will be shortened from two years to one year, transitioning from four semesters to three consecutive semesters over 12 months. The government plans to implement a minimum practicum length to prioritize practical, in-class experience. This change comes as the province faces a teacher shortage, which is expected to worsen by 2027. The Education Minister announced that these changes will be part of upcoming legislation addressing school board governance and trustees.
