Segment 1: Karla Sastaunik from CUPE Saskatchewan explains how education assistants are increasingly being asked to perform medical procedures such as tube feeding, wound care and catheterization, often without consistent training or clear provincial standards. The focus is on keeping both students with complex needs and the staff supporting them safe. Segment 2: Karla looks at what needs to change, including better training, clearer policies, stronger health-care support and consistent standards across Saskatchewan schools. She also explains how staffing shortages can force some children with complex medical needs to stay home, creating serious challenges for families.
