Obviously, I'm a little biased. Investing in post-secondary education is absolutely essential. That's the key to success. We are training future teachers.
We talked about the shortages, but it's not just about the number of future teachers. It is also a question of quality.
I talked about the challenges related to language proficiency and cultural competency, because we have students in the immersion program, for example, and other students from francophone African countries who have specific and varying needs. We need resources.
I am one of only seven professors, only seven, currently in education at the Campus Saint-Jean. We need loans of service, teachers in the field who can come and meet with future teachers and share their experiences with them. This is very expensive. A loan of service costs $120,000 a year, just to give some idea.
Investments are therefore needed in post-secondary education.
