Lecce is scheduled to make a Holocaust education announcement at Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue in North York at 11 a.m.
CP24.com will broadcast the announcement live.
The minister is expected to face questions about ongoing contract negotiations with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) after the government said it would rescind legislation that made it illegal for them to walk out.
About 55,000 CUPE members – which include early childhood educators, custodians, educational assistants and administrative staff – protested last Friday in response to the passage of Bill 28, also known as the Keeping Students in Classroom Act.
The bill, which was passed last Thursday and has yet to be formally repealed, uses the non-applicability clause to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to impose a contract on workers.
The legislation also made it illegal to strike and imposed heavy fines on individuals and the union for engaging in any industrial action.
The walkout prompted most school boards across the province to switch to distance education.
On Monday, Premier Doug Ford offered to repeal Bill 28 as a “good faith gesture” to get students back in class.
CUPE agreed to the government’s proposal and ended its four-day strike with workers returning to class on Tuesday.  Contract negotiations between CUPE and the government then resumed.
Ford said on Tuesday morning that his government had an “improved offer” for the union and that he “would like to see the negotiations concluded by the end of the week”.
Later on Tuesday, CUPE tweeted that unconfirmed reports of a 3.5% offer and a 2% hit were fraught with “many issues”.
They said they had not received this offer from the government
CUPE asked for an 11.7% annual pay rise, but last week said their latest offer was about half of what was originally proposed.
Meanwhile, the administration has proposed an annual wage increase of 2.5 percent for those making less than $43,000 and 1.5 percent for all other employees on the table.
