You need to keep things in perspective. The current teacher shortage is something that was created by the BCFT and the Courts at everyone else's expense. It all may be problematic, but it is not a crisis.

The WorkBC report sounds very exaggerated. Replacing 50% of the Provinces teachers in 5 years?

Now, if you're correct on the figures, the starting salary is something that could be improved on. BC needs better teachers and better pay does attract. The BCFT has forced School Boards to either retain or shuffle poor performing teachers for decades
