Statement from Minister Stephen Lecce

The Voice of Canada :

“As many kids go back to school we are going back to basics, focused on academic achievement and keeping kids in class.

We are excited for students to benefit from our renewed focus on reading, writing, math, STEM and skilled trades, supported by 2000 more educators and nearly $700 million more in public education for the 2023/24 school year.

We are determined for students to benefit from a normal, stable and enjoyable school year with extracurricular activity, sports and clubs.

To the students, parents and educators, we wish you a positive year ahead!”
