Public dollars belong to public schools. FULL STOP. Take action now to tell the Premier & the Education Minister that Albertans do not support public subsidization of private education. We certainly do not support building private schools with public $ pialberta.org/publicfunds4pu…

“Alberta’s K-12 students are once again left behind in this Budget. Disgracefully, Alberta spends the least on public education, while simultaneously spending the most on private education in Canada. The UCP government is continuing their destruction of public education." -Moussa

Do You Remember? The time is NOW to stand together in the DEFENCE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION! Join us THIS THURSDAY at 3:30 for the MARCH TO DEFEND PUBLIC EDUCATION! We march from the Jasper Ave entrance of the Convention Centre! #Red4EdAB #EdPub #Local37 #MarchtoDefendPublicEducation

School support workers in Fort McMurray are putting up photos and ribbons in honour of kids with complex needs that can't attend school right now. The Government of Alberta needs to come to the bargaining table, give workers the wage increases they deserve, and end the strike.

“Students can no longer accept scraps from this govt. The status quo is no longer sustainable. We are facing a critical juncture in our province where our public education system has been eroded beyond recognition.” - Medeana Moussa, Exec. Director bit.ly/3QqX7YL

This is the principled honesty we need from trustee leaders throughout Alberta right now. We call on other elected representatives to use their voices and clarify to the public that the province is enforcing wage caps as part of their larger assault on Alberta’s public education.

New year, renewed fight for public education! Public funds belong to public schools. Sign on to our latest campaign now and help us spread the word! pialberta.org/publicfunds4pu…

“Public schools must provide education to all students. In contrast, private schools select students based on tuition affordability and other criteria like a student’s ability.” teachers.ab.ca/news/why-shoul…

Charter schools are not public schools. They are lucrative private operations that siphon public resources to serve private interests through back room deals all while eroding the public education system. #ABleg edmonton.ctvnews.ca/several-albert…

Public schools only run because of the people in them. Education workers support our students in classrooms each and every day. We were proud to stand with them at the province wide Education Day rallies as they fight for fair pay and dignified working conditions. @CupeAB
