Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1997-10-01, Page 19Predicted loss of staff C'ONTLNUED from page 1 teach classes like physical education, computer related courses and guidance pro- grams. "it will certainly lower the quality of education," he stat- ed. "(Teachers) are highly trained individuals." Clarke added that the pro- posed cuts to teachers' prepa- ration time is also a big issue since it, along with other changes, would result in a reduction of teachers across the province. For example, he stated that from Central Huron Secondary School's current staff of 40, about four teachers would lose their jobs if this legislation becomes law. • And Clarke isn't the only one predicting cuts.to prepa- ration time adding up to a loss of teaching staff. Marshall Jarvis, president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association. stated in a press release that pro- posed targets of a 50 per cent cut to prep time means the loss of about 10.000 teachers province -wide. "Look at high school teach- ers' preparation time. That cut plus reduced education fund- ing adds up to fewer teachers in our high schools," Jarvis stated. "Fewer teachers means bigger classes and fewer program opportunities in our schools. And that means fewer learning oppor- tunities for our students." Aima Westlake, president of the Huron Womens Teachers' Federation, also voiced concerns about losing the current quality of educa- tion and working conditions that the teachers have fought for through collective bar- gaining. "These conditions have been earned and won through the years," she stated. "Now we see these collective bar- gaining rights being totally eroded, or placed in the hands of the govemment." Still, despite the unions' reactions, Johns defends the government's actions. The MPP stated in a press release that the introduction of the Education Quality Improvement Act is another step towards providing stu- dents with the highest quality education in Canada in the most cost effective manner. The release continued, not- ing that "the bill would sup- port a reformed education system that would be better managed, more accountable to parents and taxpayers, and would improve student achievements through limit- ing class size and increasing the amount of time students spend with their teachers."
