TORONTO — Following the government’s long-delayed announcement Wednesday about destreaming Grade 9 math, NDP Education critic Marit Stiles called on the government to fund the new program properly and extend it to additional subjects and grades.
She issued the following statement:
“On behalf of the NDP, I want to extend gratitude to everyone who joined the fight for destreaming. This long-overdue victory is one small step towards ending the systemic discrimination of lowered expectations and greater barriers, which has disproportionately seen Black, Indigenous, and racialized kids moved into applied courses — potentially limiting their future university or career choices.
All kids will now have a shared curriculum for Grade 9 math, and they're going to need small class sizes and the opportunity for one-on-one learning. Doug Ford’s plan to cut $800 million from schools this year is a recipe for students getting less help and lower grades.
The late release of the curriculum means educators and Boards will need more support to ensure a smooth roll-out.
The NDP is calling for proper funding to support kids after destreaming and an urgent plan for destreaming other subjects and grades.
We're so happy to have you on the team. We'll be in touch soon.
