The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) is celebrating Education Week, May 4 to 8, by recognizing the dedication and professionalism of Ontario’s public elementary educators who deliver high-quality learning experiences despite mounting pressures and challenges.

“ETFO members bring skill, dedication, and unwavering care to their students every day,” says ETFO President David Mastin. “Whether they are teachers, occasional teachers, designated early childhood educators, or education and professional support personnel, their work is the heart of Ontario’s public education system. But that system cannot function on our members’ dedication alone. It requires real, sustained investment and a clear commitment by the Ford government to supporting the people who make public education work.”
