Education is an area on the verge of a major transformation.
Numerous pressures have caused such a change. Changes to the Canadian economy, government cuts, demands from parents and critics are all factors influencing education reform. Surveys indicate that Canadians expect the Information Highway to provide a solution. It is important to note that the dissatisfaction observed appears to be at least partially related to studies that have widely disputed results in the educational community. The object of this report is not to analyse or criticize the results of these studies, but to use them as background information.
