Salary is the key issue.
Recent graduates and experienced Saskatchewan teachers are seeking opportunities in other provinces because of non-competitive salaries in Saskatchewan. Adequate compensation is an expression of value and shows respect for the contribution of teachers to society. Facts The educational activities that teachers engage in extend well beyond the prescribed duties and hours set out in The Education Act, 1995. There is a wide range of activities, both instructional and voluntary that have teachers working an average of 9.5 hours per day. Teachers have withdrawn only voluntary activities in order to avoid disruption of instruction for students.
