It will be important to continue efforts to set priorities that build on and are aligned to the decentralised system approach and to continue improving access and efficiency of funding in tertiary education. In part, the strategy aims to align kindergarten to Grade 12 and post-secondary education with labour market needs so that students can gain the knowledge and skills needed for an easier transition into the workforce. For instance, Prince Edward Island’s Professional Learning Report 2013 defined areas of improvement in teachers’ learning, and the Ontario government recently announced a modernisation of teacher education in the province. The impact of socio-economic status on student performance (9.4%) is lower than the OECD average (14%) (Figure 1).
