Issues in Education

There are many education issues that teachers, parents, students, and our communities have to deal with in Ontario, e.g. privatization, funding inequities, high-stakes testing, large class sizes, etc. This section contains information and research on many of these issues to help you understand their impact on the practice of education in districts, schools and individual classrooms across the province.

We present this information to you in the hope that you will not only become more informed about education in Ontario, but will also be compelled to act by getting involved in your local school or district, or by contacting your local trustee or MPP.
