The province’s education minister doesn’t think it was wise of the NSTU to pull out of the Council to Improve Classroom Conditions.
The Nova Scotia Teachers Union did so last week in response to the province’s adoption of several recommendations from the Glaze Report.
Zach Churchill says he was truly disappointed.
“If this is about impacting positive change for kids, I fail to see how removing yourself from a table that has $10 million left to allocate, that’s responsible for policy development and directing investments is a good move.”
Churchill says the Glaze report is really focused on empowering the teachers’s voice within the system.
He says despite claims by NSTU president Liette Doucet, teachers and other frontline workers were consulted by Dr. Glaze prior to the report being issued.
