Last week, Ontario’s government said that people who want to become teachers will have to go to teacher’s college for two years instead of one. That’s after regular college or university. The Ontario College of Teachers (where teachers train) is also cutting back on the number of students who can enroll to become teachers. And there are two reasons for the changes. One is that there are not enough jobs in the province now for all the new teachers. In 2011, a third of trained teachers could not get a job. By cutting back the number of people who can study to become teachers — and adding to the time they study — fewer people will likely become teachers. The second reason is that, according to the government, switching from a one-year to a two-year study program brings Ontario’s teachers’ training up to the level of some of the other provinces which have longer times of study.

上周，安大略省政府表示，想要成為教師的人必須去師範學院學習兩年，而不是一年。那是在普通學院或大學之後。安大略省師範學院（教師培訓的地方）也在削減可以註冊成為教師的學生人數。這些變化有兩個原因。一是該省現在沒有足夠的工作崗位供所有新教師使用。2011年，三分之一的受過培訓的教師找不到工作。通過減少可以學習成為教師的人數，並增加他們學習的時間，可能會減少成為教師的人數。第二個原因是，根據政府的說法，從一年制學習計劃轉變為兩年制學習計劃使安大略省的教師培訓達到了其他一些學習時間較長的省份的水準。

 

The changes, which will start in 2015, will also affect government funding for teachers’ programs. Right now teachers’ programs receive more money from the government than some other programs, like social work and law. So the government says it will reduce funding for teachers’ programs to match others. This is only the third time since the 1800s that a major change in teacher training has taken place. For most of the 20th century, teachers required a high school diploma and one year of teacher training. In the 1970s, the government made teachers have a university degree plus take a one-year Bachelor of Education program.

這些變化將於2015年開始，也將影響政府對教師項目的資助。目前，教師專案從政府獲得的資金比其他一些專案（如社會工作和法律）更多。因此，政府表示將減少對教師項目的資助，以匹配其他專案。這是自 1800 年代以來第三次在教師培訓方面發生重大變化。在20世紀的大部分時間里，教師需要高中文憑和一年的教師培訓。在 1970 年代，政府讓教師擁有大學學位並參加為期一年的教育學士學位課程。
