In the decade of Canada’s leading
participation in the occupation of Afghanistan, Canada’s military
has taken part in brutal killings, air raids, torture and the
destruction of Afghanistan and the Afghan people. Yet the government
of Canada still claims their stated aim of “continuing to support
the formal education system in Afghanistan” and has promised that
“Canada will continue to invest in education.” 
















How could the government of Canada be
investing in Afghanistan’s education system, when they are not even
investing in the education system here at home? Teachers, their
unions and the education system across Canada  are under attack from
the government of Canada, and here in BC from the provincial
government. The BC Teachers Federation (BCTF), currently engaged in a
job action to fight for increased funding and better conditions for
students and teachers in BC, has stated “we want the government to
invest a lot more in students and a little more in teachers.”















The government of Canada is not
investing in education, in Afghanistan or in Canada. Billions upon
billions of public funds are being funneled into sending troops,
weapons, fighter jets and bombs to destroy oppressed people around
the world. It is up to peace loving people in Canada, alongside
students and teachers, to join together under the banner of “Money
for Education not for War!” “Yes to Students and Teachers, No to
War!”
