Abstract: In this brief, the British Columbia Teachers' Federation (BCTF) welcomes new Minister of Education, the Honourable Jennifer Whiteside. The purpose of the brief is to provide context and recommendations for action on key issues of concern in the BC public education system. It brings together in one place many of the BCTF's concerns and proposals that require action as they work to make their schools safe places of learning during the pandemic. The COVID-19 crisis has amplified many of the longstanding inequities in society as well as highlighted the importance of the public sector, community, and care work. Public schools are a key part of every community, but they have been underfunded for decades. An already stressed public education system has been stretched even further to deal with a global health pandemic. As British Columbia experiences a second pandemic wave with cases surging across the province, teachers continue to clearly communicate their anxiety and concerns for the health and safety of everyone in BC schools. It is time for a thorough, stakeholder-led review of the processes, guidelines and policies that have been put in place for the K-12 sector during the pandemic. This Education Brief outlines four key areas of concern that BC teachers are looking forward to working with the new Minister to address: (1) health and safety in schools; (2) equitable and inclusive access to learning; (3) fair and equitable working conditions; and (4) effective communication and consultation.
