TORONTO—While school choice exists for some Ontario families, it’s not widely available in the public school system to all parents, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Other provinces in Canada recognize the benefits of offering diverse education options—alternative schools that emphasize a specific teaching philosophy, particular language, culture, subject-matter or religion. Unfortunately, in Ontario those choices aren’t available to everyone,” said Derek J. Allison, author of Expanding Choice in Ontario’s Public Schools.
