People for Education is an independent parent-led organization, working to improve public education in Ontario's English, Catholic and French schools.
In 1996, we began as part of the parent association at a downtown Toronto school and have grown to become a provincial organization.We believe public education is the foundation of a civil society. In 2004 People for Education became a registered charity.
