Students return to class as teachers are forced back to work
Today, over 740,000 students across Alberta returned to classrooms after the UCP government invoked the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to pass a bill ordering the 51-thousand striking teachers back to school.
Many teachers and parents wore red shirts in solidarity this morning as schools reopened. BCN’s Heidi Echavarria visited several schools to capture students’ and parents’ reactions to the return.
