A Toronto District School Board (TDSB) committee wants all Ontario teachers to be diversity, equity, and anti-racism certified “to ensure that teachers are better equipped to support racialized students and educators effectively.”

The Program and School Services Committee motion for mandatory certification of all K-12 teachers in the province was brought forward at a Jan. 16 meeting by trustees Deborah Williams and Debbie King on behalf of student trustee Angelika Bell.
