The ON gvt. refuses to share the results of the Class Size Consultations but the truth has come out - Ontarians overwhelmingly denounce class size increases + mandatory e-learning. It's time to listen + reverse cuts to education, @Sflecce #osstf #onted #onpoli #NoCutsToEducation

The gvt hasn't lowered class sizes- @Fordnation increased them from an average of 22:1 to 22.5:1 this yr + still plans to increase class size avg. to 25:1. That’s no reduction, @SFlecce #OSSTF #NoCutsToEducation #onted #onpoli #FairDealNow #LecceFactCheck

Our kids need the kind words from their office clerical worker when they are sad and want to call home, or they forgot their lunch. All support staff are an essential part of every education team. #CUPEstrong #StopFordsCuts #CutsHurtKids #OntEd #NoCutsToEducation

Boards across ON are dealing w/ underfunded budgets courtesy of the Ford gov! #TDSB is calling for more special ed funding, citing a “massive funding gap"- will spend approx. $67 million MORE on special ed this year than what the MoEd has allocated #OntEd

Don't believe Ford's fiction! ON is DEAD LAST in Canada when it comes to spending on critical programs such as health, #OntEd , the environment, income supports, etc. Ford is deliberately underfunding the public programs that Ontarians rely on! #OnPoli

#LecceFactCheck Minister @Sflecce says, "that he has shown movement by reducing class sizes from 28 to 25." Fact - The government is planning to increase class sizes from 22 to 25. This is not putting students first. #OSSTF #onpoli #onted #fairdealnow #NoCutsToEducation

Parents, students, & ed workers want #NoCutsToEducation but, the gov't & @sflecce won't listen. Their pursuit of cuts has them backed into a corner. #OSSTF 's proposals are reasonable & protect Ontario's publicly-funded ed system. Tell your MPP to reverse the cuts. #onpoli #onted

Ontarians are tired of listening to broken record statements from Minister of Education, @Sflecce . It's time to really listen to parents, students, and education workers, and stop the cuts to publicly-funded education. #NoCutsToEducation #onted #onpoli #osstf

STATEMENT: Ford gov to blame for #OntEd recruitment + retention crisis! Despite Lecce's claims this week, teacher (+ ed worker) shortages are a mess of the Ford gov's own making. They continue to offer PR-focused schemes that fail to address the true causes of the crisis. #OSSTF
