  SASKATOON Fourth year education students are getting ready to join substitute teacher rosters across the province in an almost unprecedented move prompted by the current subbing shortage due to the pandemic. It comes as very welcome news to Bailey Harvey who is finishing up an education degree at the University of Saskatchewan.  “It’s super exciting because we’ve never been able to that before,” Harvey told CTV News.  The last time a mass exception like this was made, was during the Second Wolrd War according to Association Dean at the College of Education Dawn Wallin.  “Some teachers have taken early retirement, some have left and substitutes are choosing to go into the schools or not, during a pandemic. So you have all these factors in play and it’s definitely being driven by the pandemic,” Wallin told CTV News.
