As of January 2025, Manitoba teachers operate under a regulatory framework outlined in the Education Administration Act s. 8.1 – Teacher Discipline.

This regulated framework resulted in an office of theCommissioner of Teacher Professional Conduct as well as Competence standards.

The regulated framework also includes a Teacher Registry that lists all teachers in Manitoba.

Members of the public can report instances of alleged misconduct directly to the commissioner. As well, employers are obligated in certain circumstances to report to the commissioner.
