Our focus at Fix Our Schools continues to be on eliminating the $15.9-billion of disrepair in Ontario’s schools and seeing our provincial government enact a Standard of Good Repair for schools. However, there are many other issues facing our publicly funded education system and many parents and students across the province are emerging as voices for those concerns as well.
we walk out today. to young people: be brave, be bold, do not let them tell you what you know or what you deserve. get up. walk out. we got this. 💓 #StudentsSayNo

Fix Our Schools encourages you to get involved with the following province-wide education advocacy efforts if you have concerns outside of school infrastructure. And please let us know of others out there too! We know there are many groups forming more locally across the province as well, which is such an important form of activism such as the West End Parents for Public Education in Toronto.
We believe wholeheartedly in a strong publicly funded education system and we are so happy to see so much grassroots advocacy emerging and flourishing in the education sector.
This Facebook group was created by Ontario parents as a space for all Ontario parents to get plain language updates on how provincial funding and policies may affect our childrens’ educations.

This movement is being led by Ontario students focused on ensuring a strong, publicly funded education system in this province. They are active on Instagram and Facebook.
This website was created by a group of parents who are concerned that Ministry of Education’s proposed changes to education will have a significant negative impact on student achievement and well-being. It provides a collection of content, thoughts, concerns, articles and resources to help you form your own opinion and provide feedback to the provincial government. One of the concerns highlighted by this group if mandatory e-learning in high schools.
