Educators in Nunavut are raising alarms over growing vacancies within the Department of Education, which they say are undermining efforts to support students and teachers in the territory. Concerns center on the impact of unfilled positions on critical programs, including those addressing literacy, mental health, and Indigenous language instruction. Teachers and education advocates warn that prolonged staffing shortages could widen gaps in learning opportunities, particularly in remote communities where resources are already stretched thin. The situation has prompted calls for urgent action to address hiring delays and ensure continuity in educational services.
