TEACHING IN ONTARIO TODAY 

IT'S A CHANGING PROFESSION

This is an interesting article that looks at the demographic changes in Ontario's Education System. 

Have a look at this interesting content that shows data from 1998 to 2015. 

It would be interesting to see what is happening in 2025 and beyond. 

Over the last 20 years, Ontario's teaching profession has seen some important demographic shifts, including age, gender balance and racial diversity.   There are two areas where interesting shifts are taking place: gender balance and racial diversity.

Since 2005 there has been an upward trend in teachers leaving the profession early in their careers. However, data from the Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan (OTPP), reported in the College's report Transition to Teaching 2003, suggest that these rates of early career abandonment of the teaching profession are much lower than those seen in the 1990s, when 20 to 30 percent of teachers withdrew from the OTPP within three years of enrolment each year between 1993 and 1999.
