A high-quality publicly funded education system should be the priority of any government. It has a direct correlation to how to succeed as a society, province and country, and how we compete in an increasingly global economic environment. Publicly funded education is fundamental to the maintenance and support of a democratic society that informs and engages all students in becoming active and well-informed citizens of Ontario and of Canada.
Organizations representing partners for publicly funded education in Ontario have come together to share our concerns, discuss various issues and collaborate on strategies to ensure that our publicly funded education system remains a model of excellence.
We are facing a critical juncture wherein our publicly funded education system is grappling with severe staff shortages, chronic underfunding and a pervasive lack of respect. These challenges threaten the very foundation of the education our children and young people deserve.
