To ensure a quality education, a safe school environment and flexibility for parents and students, the BC Greens will:
- Ensure that enrollment during COVID does not compromise the quality of education, nor the ability of schools to retain current teachers or education assistants.
- Maintain additional COVID funding for PPE and online learning throughout this school year, and into the 2020/2021 school year as required.
- Ensure every school district has the resources to develop a credible and robust remote learning and hybrid learning options.
- Support the mental health of our students with $24 million in new funding to enhance the number of counsellors in our schools, starting with the current school year.
- Develop and implement a province-wide plan to address racism that exists in schools, and commit to additional, ongoing funding to deepen the work of reconciliation and Indigenous education across K-12.
