Alberta to start online registry for teachers and school administrators in September

EDMONTON – The Alberta government plans to start an online registry of teachers and school administrators.

About 160,000 educators who received their certification since 1954 are to be included in the registry, which is to go online Friday.

The government says that for every certificated teacher, the registry will list all their legal names, the type of certificate they hold and the dates those were issued.

The province says the registry will also include details about whether the teacher or school administrator is deceased, has been disciplined or has had their licence suspended.
