Public Education is in a Crisis from years of underfunding
At precisely the moment when parents, students and communities need a stronger voice in education, their democratic voice is being weakened. The Ford Government has increased provincial control over school boards making decisions without input from parents. The Ministry has placed the TDSB under supervision so that democratically elected Trustees can no longer vote on issues that matter to their constituents.
our children deserve better
This campaign is about more then saying no to what is happening. It is about imagining what our schools need to become. Children are entering a world transformed by artificial intelligence, automation, climate change, growing inequality, an affordability and housing crisis, and unprecedented amounts of misinformation. Public education must give young people more than the skills to find a job. It must give them the ability to think critically, create, question, collaborate, understand one another, and participate in democracy.
that is the public education system i want to fight for
WHAT I WILL FIGHT FOR
