| Saskatchewan teachers to govern their profession |
|
|
|
Ontario is no longer the only province in Canada to have a self-regulatory body for the teaching profession. The Registered Teachers Act has established the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) to “serve and protect the public.” The STPRB will oversee teacher certification and discipline related to misconduct and incompetence to ensure fairness and increased transparency. It is expected to begin operations this fall. |
