RELEASE: This afternoon, thousands of teachers, education workers, families, and supporters will gather at local community landmarks across Ontario in a major province-wide show of support for publicly funded education. Read our joint #OntEdUnited release with @AEFO_ON_CA, @OECTAProv, @osbcucscso, and @osstf etfo.ca/news-publications/me….
These coordinated rallies come at a critical moment. @ETFOpresident said, “The government’s ongoing failure to adequately fund public education is leading to larger class sizes, fewer supports, and growing unmet student needs. At the same time, the increasing push toward privatization threatens the integrity of Ontario’s publicly funded education system. Together with our education union partners, ETFO members are calling for the investments needed to support every student and every educator.” #Onpoli #onted #OntEdUnited
