By continually improving our students’ learning experience in the classroom and ensuring they have the tools and resources they need to succeed, we can protect Ontario's world-class education system.

When we invest in Ontario’s public education ecosystem, we’re helping support the growth of stronger, healthier communities. Not only are schools the lifeline of communities across our province, they’re also the engine that will power the next generation of small business owners, librarians and nurses.

Over the coming months, and even years, addressing systemic inequities with urgency will be necessary in order to strengthen these vital determinants of future success and enhance the social and economic fabric of a diverse, dynamic and prosperous province.

While unpredictability has characterized the 2 years, the next 2 years - and even 20 years - must be grounded in the understanding that our kids need stable and permanent funding mechanisms in place so they can succeed and thrive.

As we look to recover and strengthen Ontario's public education system, we must create an environment that gives everyone the necessary tools to thrive, learn and work – one that is free from violence and one that empowers the individual.

An investment in schools, teachers, and support staff is not just an investment in our system - it is an investment in our students and our province’s future. We must maximize the opportunities available for students and tear down existing systemic barriers so that everyone can succeed.
