ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l’opposition

Ms. Horwath moved,

Mme Horwath propose,

Whereas the Government has announced changes to education funding that will reduce teacher-to-student ratios and make online learning mandatory resulting in larger class sizes and lost jobs for education workers; and

Whereas larger class sizes will result in less individual attention for students and ultimately reduce course options for students particularly in applied learning and the arts; and

Whereas online learning is not appropriate for most students and research shows that it mostly hurts students who are already struggling; and

Whereas rural school boards have expressed concerns that these changes will negatively impact students who live in areas with smaller populations and have limited access to broadband services; and

Whereas school boards have indicated that these changes will disproportionately affect programs and supports for Black, Indigenous and other racialized youth; and

Whereas the Government’s changes will result in fewer adults supporting and educating students in our schools, be they teachers, social workers, guidance counsellors, educational assistants;

Therefore the Legislative Assembly calls on the Government to reverse their planned changes to education funding, student-teacher ratios and mandatory e-learning and instead work with parents, education experts, educators and school boards to devise education policies that work for students.
