Students across Alberta show support for teachers in walkout

  • On Thursday, Alberta students are planning provincewide walkouts driven by social media platforms, with protesters gathering at Alberta legislature plaza wearing red in solidarity with teachers.
  • Bill 2, the Back to School Act, was passed early Tuesday morning after debate was curtailed, invoking the Charter's notwithstanding clause and ordering 51,000 public, Catholic and francophone school teachers back to work.
  • Students described classroom strains as Grade 12 students Alexandre Charrois and Valerie Tremblay attended rallies, while Grade 11 student Quin Bergman said teachers appear exhausted and lack resources.
  • The provincial government said the strike was causing irreparable harm and described its offer to teachers as fair, and it will form a provincial task force on class sizes while Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides said students may peacefully assemble Thursday.
  • The teachers' strike began Oct. 6 and lasted about three weeks, and students warned some learners could fall behind due to missed exams and looming January diplomas.
