Description

The Reformation of Canada's Schools provides a much-needed look at the problems plaguing the educational system in Canada. Challenging the one-size-fits-all approach to educational policy, Mark Holmes argues that we need a broad range of schools to accommodate the wishes of parents and the goals of a pluralist society. Instead of centralizing all decision making in the provincial departments of education, he suggests that, if children are to get the education they deserve, we should be moving to a system characterized by central control over money and accountability combined with much more parental choice. He explores the reasons behind the mediocrity of Canadian schools and sets out the reforms necessary to make them successful.
