Quebec teachers are asking the provincial government to provide more information regarding its call for teachers to volunteer as the coronavirus crisis deepens in the province.
When the CAQ government called upon teachers in health sciences and nursing to lend a helping hand in the health sector, some educators were alarmed. “A lot of teachers have left the health sector because they have a medical conditions or they were fed up with the health sector,” said Heidi Yetman, the president of the Quebec Provincial Teacher’s Association (QPTA). “Will they lose their job if they don’t volunteer?” Yetman said teachers were asking.
