Ricardo Tranjan: “Ontario Has Lost 5,000 Classroom Educators Since 2018”

Written By Matt Dusenbury

(Via the CCPA) – Education funding in Ontario has been a bit of a shell game for some time. Back in 2019, the government announced that the average class size in secondary schools was going to increase from 22 to 28. Parents and teachers pushed back, and soon after, the same government made a big deal of lowering the average class size from 28 to 25. We knew then we were in for a bumpy ride.

Instead of engaging in meaningful discussions about the future of education in Ontario, we find ourselves entangled in pointless quarrels over the latest out-of-touch remarks from the premier or the education minister. This year, it’s cell phones. Next year, it will be something else. There is always a distraction.

This year alone, the Ontario government shortchanged public schools by nearly $300 million – Ricardo Tranjan (X/Twitter)
