Education Inequality

Schools in Low Income Areas

"Young people living in low-income communities
often do not enjoy the same access to educational
supports or the same level of parental
attention as their middle-class peers."

More Likely to Take Applied Courses,
Which Translate to Less of a Chance
to Attend Post Secondary

Schools in High Income Areas

More Likely to have Access
to Tutors, Extra Curricular's

Access to Special Education Easier,
There are more Students on the
Waitlist in High Income Areas than Low

Funding is Based on Student Enrolement

Catholic High Schools Allow Students
that are not Catholic, Meaning they Take
Funding from the Public System

Schools that have a Reputable Status,
the Prices for Housing Increase due to
Students Being "Locked" Into School Zones

Those that can't Afford will go to
Less Reputable Schools

Schools with Low Poverty Rates
Fundraise More for Extra Perks
(Eg. Extra Chrome books, SmartBoards)

Less Equipment, Meaning the need
for more sharing Between Classrooms,
Which Equals Less Technology Time

70% of Ontario is not Catholic, yet
the Schools Receive Funding, Whereas
Other Religious Schools Cost Thousands

Catholic School Boards are Allowed
to Deny Positions for Teachers that
are not Catholic.

"Half of all Public Teaching jobs are Locked
Behind not being Catholic, Religious Beliefs will
Seriously Impact a Teacher’s Career and job Opportunities."
