Surrey students plan march to push for B.C. school funding
Surrey school district grappling with $16M shortfall in 2025-26 budget
When adults fail students in policy and legislation, students will be pushed to take things into their own hands.
Good for them!!!
Students were rallying previously in Surrey
There was this article:
Students rally against closure of White Rock learning centre
Supporters of South Surrey White Rock Learning Centre protest ahead of Surrey school board meeting
Students have been advocating by filing and speaking out in human rights complaints about the discrimination they have been experiencing in the education system. Here is the blog about that: The Next Generation of Student Advocates
I have started a new page to keep track of the advocacy activities of the students.
I have so many mixed emotions when I see students uprising. It’s a mix of feeling so proud of them and wanting to cheer them on. I also feel so embarrassed and ashamed to be part of the age of adults who are all in the same age bracket as me, who are making these ridiculous decisions and not properly funding schools. Our generation is creating such a mess, and students are being pushed to their limits. They are now forming a march. We are failing them!
I hope I am helping to share their advocacy.
I am sending this blog to the Ministry of Education this weekend. So shameful!
