Education, Education, what is the real problem?

The average number of years of schooling of adult Canadians increased steadily during the past few decades; between 1971 and 1986, the percentage of Canadians aged 15 or older with a university degree doubled, from 4.8% to 9.6%.(1) Encouraging as these facts may be, there is nevertheless a popular perception that the quality of education has been eroded, that many students graduating from high school are not adequately prepared in fundamental aspects of learning, and that many university graduates may not be well enough equipped to compete internationally. There are continuing problems relating to the accessibility of higher education for some individuals, and growing financial challenges for institutions and students.

1. The learning crisis was made worse by COVID-19 school closures

2. Countries are not paying enough attention to early childhood care and education (ECCE)

3. There is an inadequate supply of high-quality teachers

4. Decision-makers are not implementing evidence-based or pro-equity policies that guarantee solid foundations
