Teachers are struggling to manage complexity in the modern classroom. The Minister is pleased that his government was able to provide more funding for education…but Alberta still has the lowest funding per student in the country.

It’s my privilege to stand with education workers. Hundreds of millions of dollars in bloated private surgical contracts and yet the UCP can’t scrape together more than a few cents for support workers who haven’t seen a raise in a decade. Enough is enough.

Will next week’s budget prioritize funding for education? Or will it be more excuses from the UCP?

EAs deserve a raise. They haven’t had one in a decade for a job that has become increasingly demanding.

The UCP needs to stop shirking their responsibility and take action to address low wages so that EAs can get back in the classrooms.

Second verse, same as the first. Education support workers in Edmonton are on strike now.

Don’t let the UCP gaslight you.

The government is the funder for these critical workers. The UCP is choosing to fund education at the lowest level in the country. That choice has consequences.

The UCP’s proposed change from opt-out to opt-in will add barriers between kids and important sexual health education.

Our kids have a right to access this critical information.
