Hi everyone,
And here is a report that was just published which focuses on the future of education and possibilities for systemic changes.
I initially read it in the Tyee as they were comparing the Finish and Canadian Post-secondary educational systems.
I thought some of you might be interested in reading the report:
https://www.policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/…
And the article:
