Teachers have been fighting to make sure that kids who need extra help in the classroom get it and to make class sizes smaller so every child gets more individual attention.
Those protections used to be in their contract with school boards, but the BC government tore up that agreement. Since then there are 12,000 overcrowded classes and too many kids with special needs waiting for extra help.
At the same time, BC teachers salaries have fallen to 9th in the country.
It’s time for the BC government to invest in kids, schools and teachers again.
