The government of Ontario is easing the financial burden on students and making sure they can complete their studies during the COVID-19 outbreak by temporarily deferring payments for Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) loans and making online learning supports, including year-end exams, available to postsecondary institutions.Our government is doing everything it can to ensure our college and university students can take their exams and complete their school year while studying remotely. To ensure students can successfully complete the academic year, Ontario has finalized an agreement with eCampusOntario to make digital learning supports available to postsecondary institutions. These interim digital learning supports, available in both French and English, will provide publicly-assisted colleges and universities with the technology they need to conduct year-end assessments, while preserving student privacy and the integrity of academic assessment. To support borrowers during this difficult period, loan repayments will be subject to a six-month interest-free moratorium until September 30, 2020. This means that during this time, borrowers will not be required to make any loan payments and interest will not accrue on their OSAP loans. Borrowers can still make one-time payments via their online account or online banking if they want to repay their loans faster. Payments during this period will go entirely towards their loan principal. ????? Due to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak, the Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced that schools and child care centres will remain closed to protect the health and safety of students and staff. This extension is being made on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health.Public schools will remain closed to teachers until Friday, May 1, 2020, and to students until Monday, May 4, 2020. As these dates come closer, this decision will be re-evaluated based on public health advice. The closure may be extended if necessary to protect the health and safety of students, families and staff. The decision to extend school closures was not made lightly. We know from the medical experts that the next two weeks will be critical in the fight against COVID-19 and that's why we're taking further action to keep our kids safe and healthy by having them stay home. ????? Premier Ford and Minister also announced the second phase of Learn at Home that will provide additional tools for at-home learning and ensuring students from kindergarten to Grade 12 to postsecondary education can finish their academic year and get the credits they need to graduate.No student will have their graduation compromised by COVID-19 and the Ministry of Education continues to collaborate with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities to ensure that there will be no barriers to accessing postsecondary education The second phase of Learn at Home features a new set of expectations for the education community, including: · Reconnecting students with teachers and other school staff, including mental health workers; · Re-establishing teacher-led learning by grade groupings as follows: o Kindergarten-Grade 3: five hours of work per student/week (focus on literacy and math) o Grades 4-6: five hours of work per student/week (focus on literacy, math, science and social studies) o Grades 7-8: 10 hours of work per student/week (focus on math, literacy, science and social studies) o Grades 9-12: three hours of work per course per week for semestered students; 1.5 hours of work per course per week for non-semestered students (focus on achieving credits/completion/graduation) · Leveraging digital resources and identifying alternative forms of teacher-student connectivity, such as phone and mail; · Developing a program of training for educators to support them in virtual learning delivery; · Requiring final report cards for all students; · Prioritizing and supporting students on track to graduate; · Distributing laptops and/or devices from schools as needed, while observing public health direction; · Maintaining a responsive posture for health care and community partner requests; and · Establishing formal COVID-19 working groups with education sector unions to work together, share ideas and to find solutions in the support of students. ????? In an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep people home, the Government of Ontario has extended the Declaration of Emergency and associated emergency measures, including the closure of non-essential workplaces and restrictions on social gatherings. In addition, Ontario is issuing a new emergency order under the to close all outdoor recreational amenities, such as sports fields and playgrounds, effective immediately. These actions are based on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health.This new order would close all communal or shared, public or private, outdoor recreational amenities everywhere in Ontario, including but not limited to playgrounds, sports fields, basketball and tennis courts, off-leash dog parks, beaches, skateboard and BMX parks, picnic areas, outdoor community gardens, park shelters, outdoor exercise equipment, condo parks and gardens, and other outdoor recreational amenities. Green spaces in parks, trails, ravines and conservation areas that aren't otherwise closed would remain open for walkthrough access, but individuals must maintain the safe physical distance of at least two metres apart from others. Ontario's provincial parks and conservation reserves remain closed. Ontarians should stay home except for essential reasons, and to limit the number of these essential trips. Essential reasons include accessing health care services and medication, grocery shopping, walking pets when required and supporting vulnerable community members to meet the above needs. It is strongly recommended that people over 70 years old or who have compromised immune systems and/or underlying medical conditions self-isolate and get help with essential errands. Ontarians must strictly practice physical distancing to reduce their exposure to other people and keep at least two metres away from people outside of their household. ????? Many individuals and media are asking about an article and various social media posts circulating including this Toronto Sun article: https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/premier-uses-own-truck-to-pick-up-donated-masks-amid-the-covid-19-crisisThe Markham-based dental supply company Dental Brands reached out to the Premier on Sunday about donating 100,000 surgical masks to the province in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The Premier responded immediately by personally picking up the supply of masks and delivering them to one of the province’s central storage facilities. 90,000 went to the province and 10,000 were donated to the Toronto Police Service. Companies across Ontario are stepping up every single day to help make sure our frontline workers have the essential items they need to combat COVID-19. We want to thank them for their contribution and for continuing to show the Ontario spirit. |
