"Ppl are doing their best to get by, but the students of Ontario deserve better than us getting by..."

#OSSTF Pres. @karenosstf discusses the difficulties that #OntEd staff & students face under the Ford gov's underfunded implementation of de-streaming. https://t.co/waF4DQRCh6

[OSSTF Communications @osstf]

SPECIAL REPORT: New survey results from @PeopleforEd show that the vast majority of schools in Ontario do not have the necessary supports & resources needed to properly implement de-streaming!

De-streaming has been a priority for years, as many reports have shown that streaming students in grades 9 & 10 disproportionately disadvantages Black students, Indigenous students, students w/ special needs & disabilities, & students from lower income families.

Yet, only 20% of #OntEd high school principals say they have enough support to implement de-streaming. And 53% disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement “My school staff and I have received sufficient support from the Ministry and my school board to implement de-streaming.”

Today is #RemembranceDay 🕯️ A time to reflect on the freedoms + peace in your life, to remember those who served & sacrificed for all we have today, and advocate for change so those suffering in conflicts can have peace. Now is a time to remember our shared humanity.

We applaud 👏🏼 the tabling of Bill #C58 that will improve ↗️ the labour code and ban replacement workers. ❌

Replacement workers undermine the bargaining process.
Banning them puts more 💪🏼 in unions and more 💵 with those who make 🇨🇦 a great place to live.

Ford's shortchanging of #OntEd is making headlines again!

30% of principals say they use “unqualified adults” to tackle staff shortages in schools. Students have been sent home & classes cancelled in order to deal with this govt's staffing crisis. #OSSTF
