present conditions, this trend may
continue.
Education is a labour intensive
business. A preliminary examina-
tion of the causes reveals that the
process of education has changed
dramatically, with new methods
of education, new programs, and
new expectations which has caus-
ed a direct increase of teaching
staff alone of 30% -In elementary,
and 25% in secondary, while the
student population increased by
.only 7% during the last five
years.
Most of these additional costs
are caused directly by Ministry of
Education mandates. These re-
quirements include such things as
changes in curricula, teaching
methodology, new programs and
new subjects,, additions to special
education programs, reduction in
class sizes, the addition of junior
kindergarten and all day
•kindergarten, computerization, ad-
ditions to eontribuutions to staff
pensions, health care costs and
Provincial sales tax, early retire-
ment requirements, affirmative
action, pay equityi and higher
qualifications for teachers with
resulting greater remuneration.
Are some of these big city solu-
tions to big city problems which
are arbitrarily being. forced forced on
rural areas' which they neither
need nor can afford to fund from
a .limited. tax base?
While -the Minister of Education
has been making.. these dramatic
demands, it has at the same time
cut back • on its percentage of
grant monies to the School
Boards.
In the near future, we plan to.
present our concerns to 'Murray
Elston, our local member of the
Provincial Assembly, and: to Sean
Conway, the Minister of Educa-
tion, with a view to urging the
creation of improved methods of
educational financing which will
ease the tax burden on local
ratepayers. In addition, the local
municipalities, the public and the
Association of Ontario
Municipalities, will be informed of
our/ actions. The Special Commit-
tee 'Will, when further facts are
known, be soliciting direct public
input and support with the format
to be determined pursuant to their
preliminary findings.
The Committee will be following.
a policy of providing .facts to the.
public, soliciting ideas, and urging
that concerns be sent to Murray
Elston, and the Minister of
Education."
