To highlight this important milestone anniversary we have created our OAPCE position paper “Empowering Parents and Preserving Catholic Education: Ensuring Student Success and Well-Being in Ontario” which emphasizes the critical importance of publicly funded Catholic education in Ontario to ensure the success and well-being of students. It highlights the crucial role of parents as primary educators and advocates for their rights within the educational system. The paper addresses key issues such as supporting student well-being and mental health, enhancing communication between parents and the school board, ensuring equitable access to quality education, promoting faith formation and Catholic identity, and advocating for parental involvement in decision-making processes. By addressing these concerns and focusing on collaboration, advocacy, and support, the paper aims to underscore the significance of preserving and promoting Catholic education for the benefit of all students.
