History
In the early 1990s, the Royal Commission of Learning, which was set up during the leadership of Ontario’s former premier Bob Rae, published a report titled “For the Love of Learning” which recommended “that all (school) boards have at least one student member, entitled to vote on all board matters, subject to the usual conflict-of-interest and legal requirements” . By the late 1990s, student representatives existed in most of the 70+ school boards in Ontario. .
Wanting to collaborate and work as a unified voice, the Ontario student Trustees’ Association – l'Association des élèves conseillers et conseillères de l'Ontario (OSTA-AECO) was formed in 2000 by a group of student trustees in Ontario. In order to promote the student’s voice on a provincial scale they have published a number of reports discussing the student’s opinions in education. These include student survey reports, press releases, and position papers

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
