The Ministry of Education is consulting with parents to get feedback on several areas of the education system. The consultation is comprised of a series of open-ended questions. Feedback from these consultations will help shape decisions in the following areas:
- Improving student performance in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
- Preparing students with needed job skills, such as skilled trades and coding
- Improving provincial standardized testing
- Ensuring students graduate with important life skills, including financial literacy
- Managing the use of technology in classrooms, such as cell phones
- Building a new age-appropriate Health and Physical Education curriculum that includes subjects like mental health, sexual health education, and the legalization of cannabis
- Developing the first-ever Parents’ Bill of Rights
If you have any thoughts or feelings on these topics, or something else related to education in Ontario, please take a moment to provide your feedback at www.ontario.ca/page/for-the-parents. You can choose to comment on one or all of the above topics. The consultation process will close on December 15, 2018.
