The disparity in educational resources and opportunities between schools in high and low-income areas significantly affects students. Schools in affluent neighborhoods often have more fundraising capacity, allowing them to provide additional perks like extra technology, which low-income schools cannot afford.

Organigram

Education Inequality

Catholic Schools Being Publicly Funded Versus Other Religious Schools Not

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

Impacts on Students

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
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

Fees and Fundraising

Funding is Based on Student Enrolement
Catholic High Schools Allow Students that are not Catholic, Meaning they Take Funding from the Public System

Socio-Economic Status

Schools in High Income Areas
Access to Special Education Easier, There are more Students on the Waitlist in High Income Areas than Low
More Likely to have Access to Tutors, Extra Curricular's
Schools in Low Income Areas
More Likely to Take Applied Courses, Which Translate to Less of a Chance to Attend Post Secondary
"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."
