We should have both private and public schools. I also think the public sector should have a complete overhaul and teach actual life skills as well as better direct kids to a career path at a younger age
@B2BV4ZM1wk1W
yes, not at the expense of funding public schools and still having a focus on improving public schools and educational workers and teachers wages.
@B2BMN291wk1W
Private schools and public schools should have alignment in quality of education being imparted. If one wishes to enroll theirchildren in private school they can go ahead. But if one cannot afford -- they should be able to have an option to go to public school expecting the same standard of l
Outcome.
@B2BMK7B1wk1W
Personally No, but they should remain legal, but require all private schools to be strictly non-profit.
@B292M3P2wks2W
We should have a fully funded public education system. If someone wants to seek a private education it should be completely funded by the user and seek zero public funding, but must still follow the rules of the canadian education system
@B27PJGN3wks3W
Yes, only if their non profit and there should be more publicization of education than privatization.
@9ZP8TZL2mos2MO
I think Canada should adopt the charter school method where the schools are private but the kids have an intrinsic value. Rich or poor a price per head in funding from the government and force schools to compete for better education by drawing students.
@9H9QP5V1yr1Y
Yes, as-long as they are basing their education the same way, but I do believe independent and government owned schools should make equal a efforts to make learning a more comfortable and less stressful environment.
