Minister of Education Welcomes Further Bargaining With AEFO

In Provincial

Press Release

On February 11, 2020, Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, issued the following statement in response to returning to mediation with AEFO:

“We look forward to the opportunity to negotiate to reach a settlement that keeps students in class and ends the union-led disruption that is affecting so many students across the province. Parents expect all parties to meet at the negotiating table and have meaningful, student-centric discussions.

We continue to ask the unions to come to the table with realistic proposals that prioritize student success. Enough is enough. Students should be in class.”
