College welcomes proposed Protecting Students Act

College officials working in partnership with Ministry of Education

The College’s ongoing efforts to strengthen investigation, disciplinary and reporting processes are reinforced in Education Minister Liz Sandals’ introduction of the Protecting Students Act. When passed, the new Act will include the most significant amendments to the Ontario College of Teachers’ Act since the College was established in 1997.

Happy World Teachers' Day

October 5th is World Teachers’ Day. This important day has been celebrated since 1966 when UNESCO proclaimed the adoption of the Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers (PDF).

“Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.”
— Andy Rooney
