The department has increased enrolment for students wishing to become teachers. However, I'd like to point out that becoming a teacher is not financially attractive to students. That's one of the big problems.
The second issue is that the government recently mandated grade 9 and 10 students to take a skilled trades course. So we have to go and find specialists and teachers who can teach welding, plumbing and so on. We don't have any.
We also don't have the necessary locations. The major English-language school boards have all the locations they need to offer workshops, but for us francophones, it's an ongoing battle and a heavy burden.
