TORONTO, ON – The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) issued the following statement in response to the provincial government’s 2026‑27 core education funding announcement:
“Calling this budget ‘record‑breaking’ is meaningless when it fails to meet the needs of students, especially those with disabilities. Educators have been clear that we need adequate, stable, inflation‑protected funding to support all learners. This government continues to ignore these calls, choosing instead to mask real‑dollar cuts with political spin.
