On Oct. 22 we will send a strong message:
Public education is important to the future of this province.
This is a rally for better learning and working conditions for students and teachers.
The rally has nothing to do with political ideology or affiliation and everything to do with being a member of the teaching profession. There are 46,000 teachers in this province, and together we are leading this rally for a stronger public education system.
- We are rallying
- to build a coalition of teachers, parents and concerned citizens;
- to make sure that all political candidates in the next provincial election make public education a part of their platform; and
- to kick off a nine-month campaign that will send the message that education must be a top election issue.
- We need to stand up for public education and make sure our students have what they need to learn and we have what we need to teach:
- A strong, modern curriculum
- A well-funded system
- The supports and resources they need
- Appropriate class sizes
Public education is an investment in our children’s future — not an expense.
On Oct. 22, let’s stand together to preserve what we have and demand what we need for tomorrow.
