A Rocky Path: Understanding Access to Education Challenges for Newcomer Children & Youth

Published: June 2024.

In 2016, the FCJ Youth Network produced a report assessing the secondary school system in Ontario on 5 salient areas: Getting In, Equitable Participation, Anti-Discrimination, Support, and Moving On.

This report was instrumental in setting the trajectory of several positive advancements in education access for folks with precarious immigration statuses.

Due to regressions observed in recent times, and by support and funding from the Maytree Foundation, we have been working on a more extensive version of the 2016 report card.

The new report is divided into two phases:

  • Phase 1: 2024 School Year End [Assessing Elementary, Secondary & Post-Secondary System with List of Areas Of Improvement]
  • Phase 2: 2025 School Year End [Updates on Implementation of Suggestions]

The report A Rocky Path: Understanding Access to Education Challenges for Newcomer Children & Youth, presented June 14, 2024, include the findings, conclusions and recommendations of Phase 1.
