That’s the question on the mind of the students as Stephen Lecce settles into what will soon be the hottest political seat in the province. Ontario’s new education minister says he’ll learn by listening — to students, to parents, to teachers, to support staff. He said he’s heard from students that their most pressing issue is finding a good-paying job in the future. “The cause of young people should be at the table and we need to fight to ensure young people achieve their full potential.”As the youngest education minister in recent history, Lecce said he has always advocated for youth. Despite his private school education, he is an “unapologetic defender of publicly funded education in the province of Ontario,” he told the Star.
