Ontario Providing Record Supports as Students Return to School
As students return to school, our government is investing a record $30.3 billion in education funding this year as part of our plan to protect Ontario and prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.
This funding will ensure schools can continue to deliver high-quality education to the two million students returning this fall, with a back-to-basics approach that prepares them with practical skills for good-paying, stable careers.
Our government is also opening a record 41 new and expanded schools this fall to provide students and teachers with the modern learning environments they need to succeed.
Our goal is clear: To provide students with the opportunity to succeed and grow, and ensure teachers have the resources and environment they need to inspire learning and help students thrive
Last spring, our government introduced legislation that, if passed, would strengthen government oversight, accountability and transparency in public school boards.
This would allow our government to quickly respond to matters of public interest and make sure every dollar of this historic funding is directed to a back-to-basics approach that focuses on strengthening core skills in reading, writing and math, supporting students with special education needs and expanding access to mental health services.
