Catholic teachers want nothing more than to do the job they love in a productive and safe learning environment.
Key Points:
- Catholic teachers want nothing more than to do the job they love in a productive and safe learning environment.
- This budget continues the Ford government’s plan to underfund core education spending by $6 billion over the next five years, as projected by the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario (FAO).
- All of this suggests that, at best, the government is indifferent to students’ academic, mental health, and well-being needs; and, at worst, that they are actively engaged in undermining publicly funded education.
- Catholic teachers continue to hold out hope that, at some point, this government will place as much emphasis on student development as they do on building developments.
