As first announced by PC Education Minister Mitzie Hunter, the legislation proposes to end the current “top-down” model of public education. If passed, it would abolish class size and composition regulations introduced in 2016 by Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne. The rules stipulated the size of classes could not exceed 30 children per class for any given grade and 30 per cent of teaching staff needed to be specialized in particular subject areas, such as the fine arts, music or science. This requirement is the most controversial aspect of the new legislation, and it represents a significant shift from the practice followed by the previous Liberal government, which believed the issue was best left to school boards. Hunter’s announcement Wednesday comes less than a month after the Ford government’s introduction of Bill 28, the Teachers’ Certification and Protection Act. Among other changes, the new act would authorize school boards to compel teachers to report to work if they do not want to teach specific courses. The new bill would also require “express consent” before teachers could be disciplined for taking leaves, or otherwise for not coming to school.

Opposition critics pounced on Wednesday’s announcement, with the NDP calling it a “short-sighted” way to appease the public, while the Liberals accused the government of opting to “change the rules in a last-minute attempt to salvage their public education record.” A spokesperson for Hunter said the teachers’ union and other large unions are working with the government on the proposal. But the province’s elementary teachers’ union and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation have not supported the changes thus far. “Class size is not a legitimate topic for discussion and is not something that should be determined at the school level,” said Ed Morley, president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO). “It is also not up to the government to dictate the size of the classes that our students are taught in, especially if it puts us at risk of closing schools, cutting programs, or moving away from the focused teaching practices that we see in our classrooms.” A petition launched by the ETFO in May to save the regulations has garnered more than 70,000 signatures and is being forwarded to Queen’s Park.

Ford had repeatedly said on the campaign trail that he wanted to see the regulations rolled back. On the campaign trail in March, Ford said the Liberals, “want to control the classroom, but the bottom line is that parents and the students know best how to educate their children.” During question period Wednesday, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Ford’s original campaign promise to end the “top-down” teaching approach did not reflect his subsequent “different direction” for the education system.

“His determination to ram through this class size and composition regulation shows he’s putting ideology before the well-being of students,” said Horwath. A spokesperson for the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation said the organization had “not yet received any information on changes.” “However, we look forward to meeting with the minister of education to discuss issues impacting education, including the detrimental effects of excessive class size on students and teachers,” said Steve Orazietti. During a news conference on Wednesday, Ford praised the “courage” of the education community for confronting the province with “extraneous political interference.” “Ontario’s public education system is worth saving and every school board, every classroom, every student deserves the best that they can get,” said Ford. The proposed regulation changes follow on the heels of an April announcement from the board for the new upcoming changes done by the system for the educational development in india.
