I have no idea how they do it. They also committed to more responsible investing after it was noticed they had investments in cigarettes and alcohol- then made more money than before after the changes.
They still have big challenges though, as they have a lot of baby-boomer teachers retiring, living longer, etc. They only real way they stay afloat at all is because teachers are paid pretty well in Ontario, and they get that double-digit percentage of their paychecks. And with the high salary, there's a big over-supply of teachers wanting jobs, so no one is quitting over it.
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoWhat's the market like for teachers who're fully French-English bilingual?
- allengeorge 10y agoHonestly, unclear. For one thing school boards are motivated to constrain headcount, since that accounts for a massive proportion of their budget spend. On the other hand, demand - especially in the early years - is incredibly high, though it wanes later. Perhaps someone who works in TDSB or the like will respond with some insight. https://www.thestar.com/yourtoronto/education/2015/11/22/french-immersion-growth-causing-pain-for-ontario-boards.html https://www.thestar.com/yourtoronto/education/2015/11/22/fre... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/ontario-schools-struggle-to-keep-students-in-french-immersion/article30215440/ http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/ontario-schools-...
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoThanks. My wife is French-English bilingual with an interpretation certificate, and she now wants to become a science teacher, and I kinda wanna apply to enter Canada given the recent unpleasantness.
- allengeorge 10y agoIf she's fluently bilingual and skilled you would probably have a much easier time applying via Quebec's immigration program. I assume that you're an engineer, and if so, there are a few startups hiring in Montreal.
