Abstract

The overwhelming majority of the public support improving the resource base of K to Grade 12 public schools in Ontario, according to the latest findings of a survey conducted by the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE). Equally important, most of those who now want increased spending on schools are also prepared to pay higher taxes in support of education.

Description

The OISE/UT Survey has been conducted and published biennially since 1980. It is the only regular, publicly disseminated survey of public attitudes towards educational policy options in Canada. Its basic purpose is to enhance public self-awareness and informed participation in educational policy-making.
