Education Week: A Part of our
History
This year marks the 82nd anniversary of Education Week in
Ontario and once again we are preparing to celebrate. In the
fall of 1930, OSSTF/FEESO established Education Week. At the
time, it was hoped that by highlighting a new secondary school
curriculum and celebrating public education, the citizens of
Ontario would once again take an interest in their schools. By
1935, Education Week was a national program. Out of this
increased enthusiasm, tremendous strides were made in education.
In addition, educators achieved gains in job security with
improved and more formalized collective agreements offering
greater protection for educators’ working conditions and
students’ learning conditions.
Today we celebrate successes from the past and we continue to work for and move toward an educational system that is barrier free in all ways. With the active involvement and participation of OSSTF/FEESO, Ontario’s public education system can and does provide boundless opportunities and helps to guarantee our place in an equitable, prosperous, and inclusive global future.
