👉Five additional Ontario school boards and two private schools have joined a lawsuit against major social media companies, alleging their platforms negatively impact students' thinking, behavior, and learning. The lawsuit, initially filed by several public and Catholic school boards in March, argues that social media's addictive nature disrupts learning and harms mental health, forcing schools to allocate significant resources to address these issues. The plaintiffs, now including Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, York Catholic District School Board, Trillium Lakeland District School Board, Ottawa Catholic District School Board, District School Board of Niagara, and two private schools, seek $4.5 billion in damages from Meta, Snap, and ByteDance.✅ .

👉The Waterloo Region District School Board has issued surplus notices to 106 teachers as part of preliminary budgeting for the upcoming fall semester. The layoffs are set to take effect on August 12, pending funding from the Ministry of Education for the 2024-25 school year. Jeff Pelich, president of ETFO Waterloo Region, expressed concern over the situation, attributing the layoffs to the Ministry's delay in releasing education funding. Pelich emphasized the frustration and uncertainty faced by passionate teachers, calling for a funding formula that keeps pace with inflation and growth.✅ . 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚-𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭!

👉A nationwide teacher shortage crisis is hitting Canadian schools hard, with school boards struggling to recruit and retain educators. The issue extends beyond British Columbia, as Quebec faces over 8,500 unfilled teaching positions, New Brunswick sees more than half of education graduates not teaching in the province, and Nunavut grapples with a 9-10% teacher vacancy rate. Schools resort to deploying non-teaching staff and unqualified educators, affecting the overall education system negatively. The dire situation forces librarians, vice-principals, and even principals to cover classes, leaving schools in a state of "survival mode," impacting students and educators alike.✅ .
