Show your support for public education.

We can make things better, by investing in:
• Smaller classes
• Manageable workloads to stop teachers from burning out
• Wages that catch up and keep up so teachers stay in the profession

Despite an increase to this year’s education budget and high student enrolment, 24 school boards across the province will have fewer teachers in the fall.

@CupeAB Those cuts will affect the ability for teachers and other valuable staff to meet the needs of our students. Time for government to stop their excuses and fund our schools and students' futures.

[Greg Carabine @GCarabine]

@demetriosnAB Maybe, instead of reposting such a ridiculous divisive speech.......focus on Alberta's schools?

Alberta's students deserve better than this. 👇

@demetriosnAB Parents have always had choice, but you already knew that. Let’s talk about the choice of this government to fund our students the public system the lowest in all of Canada. Our students deserve better than this rehashed, embarrassing exchange. Stop the excuses, fund our schools.

[Greg Carabine @GCarabine]

It's like @demetriosnAB, @ABDanielleSmith and the @Alberta_UCP think @AdrianaLaGrange was good at math.......she wasn't.

This isn't a new problem, Alberta's teachers and their students deserve better.

If "Alberta's economy is booming", as @ABDanielleSmith boasts, why are Alberta's kids being crammed into underfunded classrooms?
@Alberta_UCP @demetriosnAB

Alberta's kids deserve better.

The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) says 13 school boards are set to get less provincial money for the upcoming school year, and could have less teachers. https://t.co/xUkx5dqm1b

[Allison McCaffrey - VP, Alberta Teachers’ Assoc. @allimc456]

Listening to absolutely gut wrenching stories by teachers resulting from AB being the lowest-funded public education system in Canada.

Our teachers are breaking.

We MUST fully fund public education. #ARA2024 @albertateachers

This job seems to be killing me. Next year my grade 3/4 split class will have 33 students with complex needs. You can't put students first when you put teachers last - speaker at #ARA2024 #abed #ableg

My school is a small school with 200 students. If we had the national average of funding I could hire 3 and a half more teachers - speaker at #ARA2024 #abed #ableg

[Alberta Teachers' Association @albertateachers]

Teachers at #ARA2024 are discussing a resolution "that Alberta students deserve better than to have the lowest-funded public education system in Canada" #abed #ableg
