The Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF/FCE) and the Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ) denounce the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada's (CMEC) decision to not send a Canadian delegation to the International Summit on the Teaching Profession (ISTP) 2025, citing Canada's current teacher retention and recruitment crisis. They highlight the ISTP's importance as a forum for addressing priorities in the teaching profession and are concerned about the negative perception of Canada's absence.
