The number of school administrators leaving in Quebec is reaching unprecedented numbers, according to the Quebec Association of School Administrators, which represents 800 members.
Many managers find it difficult to fulfill their duties effectively due to a significant increase in administrative tasks, the association said.
Some stats they shared:
- 3.5 percent of its members are on sick leave
- 1.9 percent retire next year
- 2 percent return to teach that next year the teachers will earn a higher salary than the vice principals.
“We need to be able to do what we’re supposed to do, which is to be pedagogical leaders. We need to ensure student success, and right now we have too many administrative tasks that I say we shouldn’t be doing.” said Andre Bernier, vice-president of the Quebec Association of School Administrators.
“We have to work with teachers, we have to work with students to make sure they succeed, and right now most of our tasks are administrative.”
Managers will negotiate their collective bargaining agreement over the next few months.
