Recently the Minister of Education Stephen Lecce announced that the math curriculum would be getting an overhaul.
President of the Elementary Teachers Association of Ontario, Avon Maitland, Kent Cleland says ETFO is not against a curriculum that better prepares students for the future but rather the timing of the announcement.
He adds rolling out and planning for a new math curriculum in 2 months is a big ask from the Education Minister.
Cleland says he believes the focus from the ETFO needs to be the planning to get back in September in a hybrid model while keeping everyone safe, not figuring out how to make the new curriculum work.
