Premier Ford’s government intends to increase class size averages in Grades 4 through 12.
Across the province, necessary supports are being stripped from our schools.
Taking away dollars means education will suffer. It’s basic math.
Tax credits for wealthy individuals and corporations are being prioritized over funding essential services.
Ontario students are not failing— the government is manufacturing a crisis in education.
