Canada doesn’t have enough Indigenous teachers. This initiative aims to close the gap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Growing up in Burns Lake, a small community in B.C., Dustin Louie never had an Indigenous teacher. This experience is familiar to many Indigenous youth, and it has detrimental effects, he said. Indigenous students are more likely to do better at school when they have Indigenous teachers, and not having those teachers influences students’ ideas about the careers they might pursue, said Prof. Louie, now 45 and director of the Indigenous Teacher Education Program at the University of British Columb

Read excerpt
Students in Ontario saw hardly any improvement in math, reading and writing in the 2025-26 school year compared to the year before, according to the latest standardized test scores.

Results for the OECD’s Program for International Student Assessment, released Tuesday, show Canada in the top 10 among 91 countries and economies that were evaluated. The OECD conducts the assessment, which measures the p
Calandra’s comments spark confusion over Ontario’s new high school attendance rules (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the school year begins in Ontario, a new policy linking high school students’ attendance to grades has been thrown into confusion for principals across the province following comments made by Education Minister Paul Calandra on Tuesday. Starting this school year, attendance and participation will count for 15 per cent of the final mark for students in Grades 9 and 10, and 10 per cent for those in Grades 11 and 12. The government announced the change in April, as part of an effort to tackle hi
