Ontario student group issues report protesting education cuts, mandatory e-learning - Kristin Rushowy, the Star

Ontario students are opposed to bigger class sizes and mandatory online credits because such changes will harm achievement, says the Ontario Student Trustees’ Association, which is now calling on the Ford government to nix plans for both. The group, which advocates for the province’s 2 million students and consults extensively with them on an ongoing basis, says in a report to be released Monday that it “strongly recommends that the provincial government reverse its class size increases, and maintain within the (education grants) the 2018-19 class size average of 22 pupils in Grades 9-12.” https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/2019/05/05/ontario-student-group-issues-report-protesting-eduction-cuts-mandatory-e-learning.html
