Annual report on schools 2012

Every year for the past 16 years, principals and parents have filled out our annual school surveys. Their work makes this report possible.

MAKING CONNECTIONS BEYOND SCHOOL WALLS

This morning (May 28th), People for Education released our Annual Report on Schools. The report is an audit of the education system and recognizes the challenge for any public education system is to serve all of its students and to serve them well. Over 1,000 elementary and secondary principals responded to our study. While the vast majority were proud of their schools’ resources and accomplishments, many raised concerns – about serving students with special needs, about the difficulty they had accessing supports in the community and about losses to their libraries and arts programs.

Read about it in the news: Canadian Press, Ottawa Citizen and Toronto Star.

This annual report is unique in Canada. This year it includes recommendations to help Ontario catch up to other provinces with more comprehensive policy and funding to reach “beyond school walls.”
