A Rocky Path: Understanding Access to Education Challenges for Newcomer Children and Youth

In 2016, the FCJ Youth Network produced a report assessing the school system in Ontario on 5 salient areas: Getting In, Equitable Participation, Anti-Discrimination, Support, and Moving On. Due to regressions observed in recent times, and by support and funding from the Maytree Foundation, we have constructed a more extensive version of the 2016 report card, to address the rising concerns, create a space for open communication, and foster actionable items for equitable change. This video covers the official launching of the new report’s Phase 1, which took place in Toronto on June 14, 2024.
