PEOPLE FOR EDUCATION

People for Education advocates for strong public education by researching school needs, engaging parents and communities, and pushing for policy changes that benefit students across Ontario. The organization publishes annual reports on public school conditions, tracks government funding and priorities, and mobilizes parent networks to voice concerns at school boards and provincial government. Based in Toronto, People for Education works across the GTA and province to ensure that education policy reflects what families and educators actually need in classrooms. They gather data on issues like mental health support, teaching resources, and class sizes, then use that evidence to inform public debate and influence decision-makers. Rather than operating schools directly, People for Education functions as a research and advocacy hub, giving parents and educators the information and collective voice needed to shape education in their communities.
