(March 16, 2023, St. John’s) – Barry Petten, PC Official Shadow Minister for Education and MHA for Conception Bay South, is extending best wishes to students and faculty during this year’s Education Week in Newfoundland and Labrador.

“This year’s theme for Education Week is ‘Better Together,’ which highlights the importance of community and in-person learning throughout our education system. After a difficult few years at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators and students are back in the classroom where learning happens best,” said Petten.

“As the budget approaches, it’s time for the Liberal Government to act on staffing shortages in our school system. Support staff in our schools play a crucial role in creating inclusive environments in our schools, supporting students’ mental health, and more to ensure quality education.”
