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
