As we said earlier, if things don't change, the shortage of teachers will continue to get worse and the problems will pile up. Things aren't going to level out because there is a growing number of students in several Ontario regions. There have been times when the demographics changed, but then the number of students started rising again, and staff were needed to deal with them.
There are problems already. For example, some teacher education programs are no longer being offered, like the intermediate senior certificate. This creates a very problematic gap in specialized areas of education, which are essential at the secondary level.
