We are concerned about the erosion of the quality of public education in our province. We see that students requiring educational and professional support do not always receive the necessary help to succeed due to sustained cuts to the
education system. We also see that
sustained cutbacks place a heavy burden on the school system.
English schools have a unique place in Quebec; they convey the rich heritage of our communities. In addition, they often receive francophone and allophone
students, thus helping people from all backgrounds to learn to live together. Our public schools teach students to be open to the world and to make important contributions to the development of Quebec society.
In this context, we ask you to carefully consider the importance of providing the necessary resources to fully support the vital role of English schools in Quebec. Clearly everyone is in agreement that
properly funded public education
contributes to better communities for all.
