Another eommon theme during the consulta • tions on this legislation was the request for . more detail as to the govern- ment's intentions. The amendments, which ' was tabled,- clearly' states, for example, that the average' class size, in the 'aggre gate, shall not exceed 22 students at the secondary: level and25 at the elemen- tary level, • The amendments also mandate provincial stan- dards in instructional time.. The amendments state' that elementary teachers Will spend at least 1300 min-. Utes per week providing ' 'instruction, and secondary teachers will spend ,at least 1250 minutes a week pro- viding 'instruction. These. figures represent the cur - "'rent national averages. This translates into no increase in time for ele- mentary teachers, who are already at the' national average,, and an increase'. for secondary school teachers of just under $0 Minutesa day. Further, our amendments provide for flexibility at the 'board ,'and principal level to use".their. discretion' to assign less instructionaltime to .teach- ers for example,. less experienced younger teachers who need more time to prepare for classes, The issue of differenti- ated staffing 'h'as been BDO Dunwoody WARD MALRETTE 'Chartered Accountants Offering a full range o 'servic si auditing, accounting, business plrin- riing,•' income tax planning, personal financial planning, computer`arld. management'Serviceg. .

Our amendments, which' have the full s4ipport of 'the Ontario College of Teachers, has been worded to ensure than profession- als•. and pa" ra..professionals are used to complement - not replace-. 'certified teachers, and that' they have appropriate qualifica-•, tions. It is our hive ,that this amendment will end the ongoing speculation that it is the government's intention. to replace class- room teachers ' with unqualified. personnel. The government has been very careful to listen .to ,all, partners in' Education. The EJC report involved muchconsulta- tion andthe public hear-, irigs were listened :to, and acted upon. The govern- ment introduced 109 amendments. 1 hope this Will allow parents to con- sider carefully Bill 160.
