Ontario Minister of Education Stephen Lecce is scheduled to introduce legislation Monday that will “refocus the education system on improving outcomes for students,” a release said.

The tabling of the legislation follows an announcement he made Sunday that the government will invest $180 million in boosting math and literacy in schools. That includes bringing in about 1,000 new educators.
