The NBTA has issued a press release relating to recruitment and retention of teachers:For Immediate ReleaseNew Brunswick Teachers’ Association states its advocacy pillars, calls for release of Retention and Recruitment Strategy FREDERICTON — October 28, 2025 — Following consultations, the New Brunswick Teachers’ Association (NBTA) is calling on the provincial government to finalize and release the provincial retention and recruitment strategy.“Retention and recruitment is our number one priority,” said Heidi Ryder, president of the NBTA. “Teachers are struggling to believe it is truly a priority for government when we are still waiting. Every day that passes impacts student learning and the future of our education system.”Recent calculations have determined that more than 1,300 Anglophone sector teachers, and 157 school principals and vice principals are eligible to retire in the next five years. Currently, more than 180 classrooms are being led by community members who are not certified teachers who require supports and pathways into the profession.With this in mind, the NBTA has outlined a series of recommended actions for New Brunswick to help retain a highly qualified teaching population.The four pillars are: Additional Time and ResourcesPrioritizing Certified Professionals and LearningPromoting Respect for the Profession and Public EducationValuing the Underlying Indicators of Student SuccessThis includes actions such as timely support to deal with behavioural and learning challenges, time for teachers to complete their professional duties, ensuring appropriate support staff ratios, and implementing a modernized certification framework.“By supporting teachers, we can enhance instructional quality and the futures of our students in this province. But it all starts with well-staffed schools, and well-resourced teachers,” said Ryder.NBTA has forwarded their recommendations to government in the hope that their upcoming strategy will be informed by teacher voices.The New Brunswick Teachers’ Association is the respected collective voice of its members and works in collaboration with public education stakeholders to advocate for the teaching profession, influence public policy, and offer opportunities for professional growth.-30-Media contact:Chantal LafargueDirector of Communicationschantal.lafargue@nbta.ca506-452-1821 ...
