Stop the Government's Education Cuts
To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
Whereas the current government’s “new education scheme seeks to dramatically increase class sizes starting in grade 4;
Whereas the changes will mean thousands fewer teachers and education workers and less help for every student;
Whereas secondary students will now be forced to take at least four of their classes online, with as many as 35 students in each course;”
Whereas the government’s “changes will rip over $1 billion out of Ontario’s education system by the end of the government’s term; and
Whereas kids in Ontario deserve more opportunities, not fewer;
Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to:
Demand that the government halt the cuts to classrooms and invest to strengthen public education in Ontario.
