Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As education workers in Ontario experience unprecedented levels of violence in the workplace, staff shortages and burnout, experts say education is in crisis under Doug Ford.
Educational assistants, custodians, secretaries, lunch supervisors, maintenance staff overwhelmingly agree there is not enough personnel in schools to do jobs properly and many now find themselves doing the work of multiple staff members.
But there could be a simple solution to the compounding issues affecting education in Ontario: Funding education properly.
On this episode of Sources, Joe Tigani, president of the Ontario School Board Council of Unions, joins PressProgress‘ Ontario Reporter Eric Wickham to talk about the compounding crises in Ontario’s education system.
