“Schools were once places of education... This is becoming less apparent.”

➡️ Students with learning disabilities are being left behind.
➡️ Behavioural needs are going unmet.
➡️ Educational Assistants are stretched too thin to provide consistent support.

“I have personally watched the violence go from 0 to 100 in my 17 years working for the school board. It is unacceptable and should not be happening within a school or anywhere else. It’s disheartening that it is kept a secret and not talked about.”

Education workers from OSSTF/FEESO and other unions are SPEAKING OUT in a new report from Educator Violence on the violence happening in Ontario classrooms every single day.

We know the problem—and we have the solutions.

We are calling on the Ford government to stop ignoring the crisis and work with us to end violence in schools NOW.
