💬 “Teachers remain deeply committed to their students. But if we don’t address systemic issues …attrition rates will continue to rise, and students will suffer the greatest cost of government inaction.” – Clint Johnston, @CTFFCEpresident The Spring 2025 survey underscores an ongoing crisis in teacher retention, while reaffirming that what keeps educators committed is clear: their students. 🔗 Learn more: ctf-fce.ca/take-action/parac… (2/3)

💬 « Les enseignant·es restent très attachés à leurs élèves. Mais si on ne s’attaque pas aux problèmes de fond, [...] les taux d’attrition continueront d’augmenter, et les élèves seront les principales victimes de l’inaction du gouvernement. » — Clint Johnston, @CTFFCEpresident Le sondage du printemps 2025 a permis de brosser un portrait représentatif à l’échelle du pays de la crise de rétention du personnel enseignant, tout en confirmant que les élèves restent au cœur de ce qui incite les enseignant·es à rester dans la profession. 🔗 ctf-fce.ca/fr/passez-a-lacti… (2/3)
