A report from an education advocacy group says Ontario schools are not doing enough to prepare students for jobs and adulthood.
The report released yesterday by People For Education says a policy to support career and life planning for students from kindergarten through Grade 12 is falling short, and recommends the government take action to remedy the situation.
The report is based on survey results from more than 1,200 Ontario schools. It also notes that the average ratio of students to guidance counsellors is 375 to one in high schools.
In some parts of Ontario, the ratio is as high as 685 students to one guidance counsellor.
As far as I’m concerned…. You can’t blame all on the schools, parents have to accept some of the responsibility too. Thoughts?
