“Underfunding is a choice.
Staffing shortages are the result of choices.
And this government needs to own those choices.”

Yesterday, more than 10,000 education workers, families, students, and community members rallied across Ontario for the future of public education 🙌🏽

As #OSSTF President @marthahradowy told the crowd at Queen’s Park, students, education workers, and families didn’t create the crisis in our schools, but they’re the ones paying the price.

Ontario’s students deserve better.

“People across the province are sending a clear message to the Ford government: Ontario’s students deserve better, and publicly funded education is worth investing in.”

#OSSTF President @marthahradowy’s message is featured in the Toronto Star’s coverage of yesterday’s rallies, which brought more than 10,000 people together in Toronto, Ottawa, London, Sudbury, and Thunder Bay in support of public education.
