Since 2002, teachers and education workers in Ontario’s public high schools, elementary schools and universities have published and shared their ideas on how to ensure that public education helps our children reach their full potential. These ideas originate with teachers and education workers who have daily contact with students and are developed by seasoned educators and advocates for public education.
Over the years, many of the ideas have been adopted by Ontario’s government and real progress has been made.
“Our Students. Our Future.” is designed to encourage continued discussion of the key issues affecting the quality of public education in Ontario. Our goal is to ensure that parents, government, schools, teachers and educational workers continue to work together to make positive changes so that public education works for Ontario.
Public education is a cornerstone of every democracy. We strongly encourage everyone who believes in the importance of public education to actively participate in the upcoming provincial election. Get informed about each party’s stand and track record on public education. Support local candidates who speak up for public education. And on Thursday, October 6, 2011, don’t forget to vote!
