"Extending funding to religious private schools would result in fragmentation of the education system in Ontario and undermine the goal of universal access to education." -Janet Ecker, Misiter of Education, January, 2000 Our governent will continue to be committed to full funding of public education and that "this govenrment has always been committed to listening to parents and students" -Garfield Dunlop, PC member for Simcoe North, May, 2001 "The real problem facing the province's universities is the continued lack of appropriate funding by the government for the postsecondary system which would allow for the quality and access that Ontario's citizens have a right to in the public system." - Dr. Henry Jacek, President of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) "When funds raised by parents are being used to provide textbooks, classroom supplies and computers, and some schools can raise $100,000 while others can raise none at all, we know that the basic needs of some elementary students in Ontario are not being met. Parents in Ontario elementary schools are raising approximately $30 million per year and volunteering over five million hours. The role of parents is an important one, but because parents' ability to be involved differs from school to school, we cannot rely on parents to replace trained staff or public funding without creating serious inequities in the system." - People for Education "We have always been guarunteed the right to a good education, and yet no one listens to us when we repeatedly tell them that the system isn't working." -Aimee MacKinnon "Hey I didn't know things were so tough in Canada. I was shocked that you can be the best country in the eyes of the United Nations but not have a good education system. " -Patrick, South Africa |
