Ontario to add 2,600 teacher candidate spaces amid shortage

May 23, 2025
Ontario is adding 2,600 spaces to teachers colleges across the province as it stares down a worsening teacher shortage, a move unions say is welcome though will not in isolation solve the problem.The budget tabled last week by Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy contained a brief reference to spending $55.8-million over two years to train those new teachers by 2027.Colleges and Universities Minister Nolan Quinn said the money will go toward adding new spaces at all schools offering a bachelor of education program and will start to be available as early as this September.
