Catholic Teachers Stand With All Ontario Students

Ontario Catholic teachers stand with students at every stage of their educational journey. From slashing OSAP grants to freezing financial assistance for thousands of students, the Ford government is making post-secondary education increasingly inaccessible for those who need support the most. Ontario students should not be forced to pay the price for this government’s financial mismanagement. Their ability to pursue an education should not depend on their financial circumstances. Setting Ontario students up for a lifetime of student loan debt is a failed and unfair US model we should not be importing. Education is a right, not a privilege. From Kindergarten to post-secondary and beyond, teachers will never stop fighting for equitable access to the quality education every student deserves.” — President René Jansen in de Wal
