Global Context

A Global Teacher Shortage: Crisis Creates Opportunity

The shortage of qualified teachers is now one of the defining pressures facing BC offshore schools. In China, approximately 80% of schools report full or near-full curriculum compliance and certification expectations. At the same time, region-specific constraints continue to shape hiring: enrolment caps typically limit schools to 50 to 80 students per grade, and shortages sometimes require exemptions for up to 30% of staff. High turnover only intensifies the pressure. For BC-certified educators, this is not just a staffing challenge, it is a real opportunity.
