Local high school students are taking part in a province-wide walkout April 4 to protest changes to the education system.
Premier Doug Ford's PC government has announced high school class sizes will increase from an average of 22 students to 28.
The government is also eliminating free post-secondary tuition for low-income students.
St. Patrick's High School Grade 11 student Niamh Ellwood said that will have a great impact on her.
"I work hard at school, I always try to do my best," said Ellwood. "For my future to be taken away from me or for my future to be made more difficult than it needs to be by the government is not OK. I'm not going to let them do that and be silent about it."
Ellwood said she sees irony in larger class sizes.
"It's interesting to see Doug Ford reduce the size of Toronto city council because it was dysfunctional, but then raise class sizes to teach kids more resilience and responsibility in the classroom," she said. " think raising class sizes is just going to make learning more difficult, it's going to make the teacher's life more difficult because they won't be able to spend as much time with each student."
At around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Ellwood said up to 200 students from the school will march down Michigan Avenue to the Michigan and Murphy Road intersection.
She said it's a good place to gather given the high traffic volume. They've notified city police of their plans.
Students from Northern Collegiate are expected to meet up with those from St. Pat's
Great Lakes Secondary School is also taking part.
