Catholic Teachers

OECTA represents the 45,000 passionate and qualified teachers in Ontario’s publicly funded English Catholic schools, from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Marissa is an elementary teacher.

She's constantly rationing basic supplies, like paper and pencils.

The govt's $750 supplies card won't fix that, as it cuts into existing classroom funding – and does nothing to address the $6.4 billion in chronic underfunding facing #OntEd.

#CatholicTeachers marched alongside workers, unions, & labour activists at #LabourDay2026 parades across Ontario!✊

Let’s celebrate the achievements of the labour movement thus far, as we continue to fight for a better future for ALL! #onlab

Today is #InternationalLiteracyDay!📚

As #OntEd heads back to school, #CatholicTeachers have turned Union Station into a school to champion:

✅Smaller class sizes
✅Fulsome resources and supports for every student
✅Real investment in schools

We shouldn't have to run a campaign to tell the govt this... #KnowMore

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

Ontario students deserve a fully funded education system and a government who makes that a priority.

S/O to the community members across the province who joined educators at #FightFord protests this weekend in support of #OntEd!✊

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

From pencils & paper to books & learning resources, teachers & education workers regularly use their own time & money to fill gaps created by government underfunding — and those gaps are only getting bigger. #OntEd students deserve BETTER!

The time for action is NOW!

On Sept 16, #CatholicTeachers will join 275,000+ teachers & education workers across Ontario in wearing red and purple to support publicly funded education.

We will not stop advocating for the funding, supports, and resources #OntEd students need!

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

We urged @PaulCalandra to start bargaining early, to best support #OntEd students, teachers, and education workers.

He refused, doubling down on centralization schemes instead of student success.

Now we're starting the school year without new contracts.

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

Across the province, #CatholicTeachers showed up this weekend to #FightFord and #FightForEducation!✊

It's past time for the Ford govt to listen & invest in #OntEd. Students deserve properly funded schools with the supports they need to thrive & succeed!

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

If the Ford govt is serious about supporting #OntEd, they must meaningfully consult w/the teachers who work w/students each & every day.

Thank you Dufferin-Peel #CatholicTeachers Unit Presidents for sharing your experiences & speaking up for students!🙏
