World Education Support Personnel Day 2023 – May 16, 2023
World Education Support Personnel Day was launched in connection with Education International’s (EI) first-ever ESP Conference in 2018. This is a day to recognize the extraordinary contribution education workers make to our schools and our union. OSSTF/FEESO celebrates the work of education workers across the globe and across Ontario, emphasizing their role to ensure the delivery of high-quality public education, and to shine a light on the challenges that education workers face in their workplaces. Despite the lack of support from a provincial government that forgets the contributions Education Support Personnel make to keep the school system going, you continue to make significant contributions to your students every day.
