Sociology of Education in Canada by Karen Robson Pdf

Sociology of Education in Canada utilizes a contemporary theoretical focus to analyze how education in Canada is affected by pre-existing and persistent inequalities among members of society. It presents the historical and cultural factors that have shaped our current education system, examines the larger social trends that have contributed to present problems, discusses the various interest groups involved, and analyzes the larger social discourses that influence any discussion of these issues. To achieve this, Karen Robson uses many current, topical, and relatable issues in Canadian education to ensure that readers fully comprehend the information being presented and leave with an appreciation of how the sociology of education is inextricably linked to issues of stratification.

Education and Early Labour Market Outcomes in Canada by Jörgen Hansen,Canada. Human Resources and Social Development Canada. Learning Policy Directorate Pdf

In order to estimate the reward to higher education, data drawn from the first three cycles of the older cohort of the Youth in Transition Survey (YITS) will be used. [...] The results also indicate that education is inversely related to the probability of being unemployed, and for females, of being inactive in the labour market (that is, not employed nor searching for a job). [...] Apart from a description of the samples, the section also includes a description of variable definitions and the distribution of educational attainment in Canada. [...] The higher attendance rate in Ontario, relative to Atlantic and Western Canada may partly be due to normal high school completion after grade 13 in Ontario compared to grade 12 in Atlantic and Western Canada.4 Considering post-secondary graduates, the entries in Table 1 (as well as throughout the paper) distinguish between high and low levels of PSE. [...] Education and Early Labour Market Outcomes in Canada 7 3.3 Differences between PSE graduates and high school graduates Table 2 provides a profile of post-secondary students in Canada by highlighting differences in selected observable characteristics between post-secondary graduates and high school graduates.5 The gender difference in post-secondary graduation is again shown as males dominate the h.

Labour Markets, Social Institutions, and the Future of Canada's Children by Statistics Canada,Canada. Human Resources Development Canada Pdf

The contributors to this book examine two broad themes related to the well-being of Canadian youth. First, they document the nature of the labour market facing young adults and how it has changed since they early 1970s. Second, the autors examine how families, communities, and the public sector influence some of the ways in which children become successful and self-reliant adults. The motivation for bringing these essays together has to do with the increasing importance of child well-being in public discourse and the development of public policy. The major message to emerge is that the future of Canada's children is both a good news, and a bad news story. Labour markets have changed dramatically, and on average it is now more difficult to obtain a strong foothold that will lead to increasing prosperity. Many young Canadians, however, are well prepared by their family and community backgrounds to deal with these new challenges, and as young parents are in a position to pass this heritage on their children. However, this has not been challenges in getting ahead in life. A companion volume published in February of 1998 by Statistics Canada called Government Finances and Generational Equity examines the operation of government taxes and transfers from a generational perspective, focusing on the conduct of fiscal policy and the relative status of individuals in successive generations.

Transitions by Paul Anisef,Paul Axelrod Pdf

How do Canadian students perceive and prepare for the world of work? To what extent do gender, race, region and social class shape their aspirations, opportunities, and experiences? Transitions: Schooling and Employment in Canada presents new research by scholars from across Canada engaged in the study of youth, schooling, employment and social change. The aim of the book is to describe the multiple transitions that young adults encounter in their journey from school to the world of paid employment. Different contexts and conditions affect these transitions and the authors employ historical, qualitative and quantitative methodologies in identifying them. Particular attention is paid to the themes of gender, socio-economic status, ethnocultural origin, and region. In analyzing their findings, the authors apply a wide range of theories, including developmental, sociological, and social/psychological. In addition, a number of the essays have implications for policy-making in the areas of education and employment. The contributors to this volume explore the experiences of rural youth in Nova Scotia, blacks in Toronto, and high school students in Vancouver. They suggest new approaches to researching native communities and the lives of female adolescents.

Understanding School Choice in Canada by Lynn Bosetti,Diane Gereluk Pdf

Understanding School Choice in Canada provides a nuanced and theoretical overview of the formation and rise of school choice policies in Canada. Drawing on twenty years of work, Lynn Bosetti and Dianne Gereluk analyze the philosophical, historical, political, and social principles that underpin the formation and implementation of school choice policies in the provinces and territories. Bosetti and Gereluk offer theoretical frameworks for considering the parameters of school choice policies that are aligned and attentive to Canadian educational contexts. This robust overview successfully shifts the debate away from ideology in order to facilitate an understanding that the spectrum of school choice policy in Canada is a response to the varying political challenges in society at large. This book is essential reading for those who desire a deeper understanding of school choice policies in Canada.

The State of the System by Paul W. Bennett Pdf

Over the last fifty years, Canada's public schools have been absorbed into a modern education system that functions much like Max Weber's infamous iron cage. Crying out for democratic school-level reform, the system is now a centralized, bureaucratic fortress that, every year, becomes softer on standards for students, less accessible to parents, further out of touch with communities, and surprisingly unresponsive to classroom teachers. Exploring the nature of the Canadian education order in all its dimensions, The State of the System explains how public schools came to be so bureaucratic, confronts the critical issues facing kindergarten to grade 12 public schools in all ten provinces, and addresses the need for systemic reform. Going beyond a diagnosis of the stresses, strains, and ills present in the system, Paul Bennett proposes a bold plan to re-engineer schools on a more human scale as the first step in truly reforming public education. In place of school consolidation and managerialism, one-size-fits-all uniformity, limited school choice, and the "success-for-all" curriculum, Bennett advocates for a new set of priorities: decentralize school governance, deprogram education ministries and school districts, listen to parents and teachers, and revitalize local education democracy. Tackling the thorny issues besetting contemporary school systems in Canada, The State of the System issues a clarion call for more responsive, engaged, and accountable public schools.

The Transition from Initial Education to Working Life by Council of Ministers of Education (Canada) Pdf

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development is engaged in a thematic review that uses a comparative framework to document and better understand how the factors affecting school-to-work transition have changed over the years, and to identify the major reasons for the success or otherwise of different policy orientations and specific programs. The review includes a series of country background reports intended to provide a brief overview of major changes in young people's transition to working life, emerging issues of concern, and policy responses in the country concerned. This report represents Canada's background report as a contribution to this review. It begins with a paper on the context of Canadian education, transition patterns and programs, and common issues across Canada. It then presents case studies on transition in Nova Scotia and Quebec. Finally, it summarizes responses to a survey on transition (trends, initiatives, programs, youth characteristics, research) in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia.
