Canada under Harper: education falling behind other countries

Wot’s the big deel about ejucation anyway. Like tryin to fix that fony climate change, it’s only going to impeed the rappture.

TORONTO – Canada has an “enormous vacuum” at the centre of its national education leadership and should fill it with an intergovernmental council, says a prominent educator.

The recommendation is parting advice from Paul Cappon, president and CEO of the Canadian Council on Learning, which will wrap up its operations March 31 when federal funding dries up.

A final report entitled What is the Future of Learning in Canada? is being released Tuesday.
