Elementary and Secondary Education Program - Vote 1002
The program provides policy and program direction, as well as financial support, to district school boards, schools and agencies in Ontario in order to foster and sustain a high-quality education system for all students in the province. The program aims to achieve four primary outcomes as described in Achieving Excellence, A Renewed Vision for Education in Ontario: excellence in student achievement; equitable access to rich learning experiences for all students; promotion of student well-being; and enhanced public confidence in publicly funded education. This program supports the implementation of a vision of public education that is responsive, high quality, accessible and integrated from early learning and child care to adult education. The Ontario curriculum, as the basis of student learning, recognizes that, today and in the future, students need to be critically literate in order to synthesize information, make informed decisions, communicate effectively, and thrive in an ever-changing 21st Century, global community.
Key components of the program are: supporting the implementation of a rigorous curriculum; supporting student learning and maintaining challenging standards of achievement, and supporting excellence in teaching and leading; provision of financial support to a streamlined and efficient education system with a focus on teaching and learning in the classroom; accountability for the funding of elementary and secondary education; and operation of provincial schools for deaf, blind, deaf/blind and students with severe learning disabilities.
