Video podcast – EHDAA and Budget Cuts

FPSS-CSQ President Éric Pronovost speaks with Bianca Nugent, President of the Quebec Coalition of Parents of Children with Special Needs (CPEBPQ), and Sylvain Martel, spokesperson for the Regroupement des comités de parents autonomes du Québec (RCPAQ).

For several years, our school system has been going through a crisis marked by underfunding and budget cuts. These decisions have very real consequences: reduced direct services to students, overworked school staff, and, most importantly, children who lack access to the support they need to succeed.

At the heart of this reality are vulnerable students, their families who often have to fight for support, and school teams who are severely under-resourced. Today, we will explore together how these cuts are reflected in daily life, what the priority needs are, and what solutions can be considered to build a more just and inclusive school system.
