Numerous studies have identified the many benefits students enjoy from smaller class sizes, including increased engagement, motivation, and academic success. The Ford government raised class sizes in Grades 4 to 12 before the pandemic began. And since the onset of COVID-19, the government has refused to follow the recommendations of public health experts to reduce class sizes, which has put students’ health and safety at risk.
To address pandemic-related learning loss and support a robust recovery, the Ford government must invest in smaller class sizes to provide all students with a safe and enriching learning environment.
