Improving recruitment and retention of teachers and other professionals is a key component of a new action plan for New Brunswick’s anglophone school sector unveiled Tuesday.

But the Education minister said controversy on the national stage over a proposed gender-identity policy won’t deter teachers from coming here, but also that more professionals won’t necessarily boost learning outcomes either.

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development held a briefing Tuesday morning for reporters on Building a better education system, described as an action plan to implement recent recommendations to improve education outcomes in anglophone school districts in New Brunswick.

On hand for the presentation were Education Minister Bill Hogan and the co-chairwomen of the executive steering committee for the plan, New Brunswick Teachers’ Association executive director Ardith Shirley and assistant deputy minister Tiffany Bastin.
