Teachers, parents and students rallied outside Queen's Park Saturday to call on the provincial government to spend more on education, saying current funding will result in programming cuts that will hurt students.

In the province's new 2025-2026 budget released last week, the government set aside $30.3 billion, calling it a record investment.

But Mary Fraser-Hamilton, a teacher in the Peel District School Board and organizer with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF), says it's not nearly enough.
