This counter graphic represents only one of the gaps that exist between the working conditions of teachers in the elementary and secondary school systems. Elementary teachers get far less preparation time than secondary school teachers, and that results in elementary teachers having 37 minutes less time every day for lesson preparation, marking, and student assessment. Over the course of a school year, it adds up.
The collective agreements of our members expired at the end of August. ETFO's locals have endorsed closing the gap between elementary and secondary school working conditions as a major goal in this round of bargaining. Equalizing preparation, assessment, and supervision time is one element of our objective.
Last year, ETFO launched a multi-year campaign to Close the Gap between elementary and secondary school funding. Please  click here to read more about this important issue. And check back for further news, information and research on the funding gap.
Better working conditions for teachers means a better education for students.
