This is the first time since 1997 that teachers and educational workers from Ontario’s main education unions will be out of the classrooms on the same day.
That means nearly 200 thousand education workers across 72 school boards will be striking and closing nearly 5000 schools, all in protest of government cuts to education.
The full statement can be read below.
