We are writing this letter in the name of all those students who have not gone to school for months. Now that the COVID-19 situation has calmed down and things are returning to a certain degree of normality, students should not be the main victims of these restrictions. The authorities have repeatedly insisted on the importance of education to students and that ideally, it should be physical.

We, therefore, believe that post-secondary students who wish to go back to school should also have the chance to do so. We believe that we should not be sacrificed because of the irresponsible behaviour of other sectors and industries. Why are shops, which you yourselves described as non-essential, bars, restaurants, summer schools and language schools, childcare centres, etc. allowed to open while post-secondary schools, which are essential, have had to remain closed? 

A month can make a whole difference. Education is a fundamental right for primary, secondary, and language schools, just as much as it is for post-secondary schools. As you have listened and answered others' struggles, please listen to ours. We are tired of being unseen, unheard, and unrepresented.

We matter too.
