\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite months of work to rule and\u00a0weeks of concentrated job actions<\/a>, the Progressive Conservative government in Ontario has failed to negotiate a deal with teachers to date.<\/p>\n

Amid news about negotiation sticking points, such as class size and mandatory e-learning, a key issue at stake is that education has been chronically\u00a0underfunded at the tax base<\/a>. In fact, Ontario, like other provinces, is increasingly relying on\u00a0private revenue streams<\/a>\u00a0as a solution.<\/p>\n

Last month, the\u00a0Toronto Star<\/em>\u00a0reported that the Doug Ford government \u201cplanned to slash school board spending while creating courses to sell to other jurisdictions at a profit<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such a tactic would hardly be a new strategy. It should rightfully be seen as part of broader funding trends that provinces have quietly adopted into strategic plans and policies presented under the umbrella of\u00a0international education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This means increasing student and teacher global awareness and competencies through curricula and student exchanges \u2014 and also increasing\u00a0how much international revenue supports Canadian school systems through recruiting international students and exporting Canadian curriculum abroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The push to license Canadian curriculum abroad reflects a larger trend in Canadian education to\u00a0grow educational \u201cexport services and explore new opportunities abroad<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Toronto Star<\/em>\u00a0recently reported that high school administrators in Ontario and British Columbia have noticed\u00a0a significant increase<\/a>\u00a0in international students.<\/p>\n

These students are international citizens who have been recruited to Canadian high schools. Like the\u00a0growing numbers of international post-secondary students studying in Canada<\/a>, these students are leaving their home countries and families behind in order to pursue their education.<\/p>\n

International revenue<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In 2015, Ontario released a\u00a0policy strategy<\/a>\u00a0for K-12 international education. It cites four goals, including future-oriented learning, growing programs for international students to attend K-12 schools, sharing Ontario curriculum globally and expanding pathways to post-secondary schools so students will continue to live and work in Ontario.<\/p>\n

The policy explicitly notes that school boards are actively recruiting international students \u201cin response to issues of declining enrolment in some areas, or as an additional source of revenue<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fostering a sense of intercultural awareness, communication and respect in school communities is critical today \u2014 and indeed, much of this can be bolstered through quality programs, teaching and investment in students\u2019 equitable opportunities in their local schools. International exchange can also be a significant and beneficial learning experience.<\/p>\n

But one concern is that this recruitment of children from around the world has evolved in a context where\u00a0neoliberal educational reforms<\/a>\u00a0of the past several decades\u00a0have eroded<\/a>\u00a0tax funds for public education, lowering\u00a0per pupil spending<\/a>, and forced school boards to supplement their revenue.<\/p>\n

Boards are under pressure to do more with less. Even as cuts to education occur, schools are increasingly forced to justify their outcomes and budgets on the basis of international\u00a0global standards, like the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development\u2019s Program in International Student Assessment (PISA)<\/a>. In this socio-economic climate, Canadian provinces\u2019\u00a0welcome<\/a>\u00a0of international high school students looks like marketing.<\/p>\n

Such changes in how school boards are funded raises questions about the short-term and long-term costs to students, families and Canada\u2019s educational policy vision.<\/p>\n

$16,000 high school tuition<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As of 2015,\u00a0there were 19,000<\/a>\u00a0international students in Ontario K-12 schools. The Toronto District School Board\u2019s annual tuition for international high school students\u00a0is $16,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This tuition amounts to significant revenue streams. International students paid $5.3 million to\u00a0Edmonton Public Schools<\/a>\u00a0in 2018-19.\u00a0The Vancouver District School Board budget<\/a>\u00a0reported nearly $28 million in tuition from international students in 2019.\u00a0Calgary District School Board<\/a>\u00a0disclosed revenue nearing $20 million.<\/p>\n

Canada promotes the fact that \u201cthere are many elementary and secondary schools around the world that offer the curriculum of one of Canada\u2019s provinces<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are\u00a0125 elementary and secondary schools licensed to offer Canadian curricula internationally<\/a>. For example,\u00a0Ontario is selling its curriculum<\/a>\u00a0to 19 partner institutions internationally, with a view to expanding.<\/p>\n

From communities to consumers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One problem is that these international exchange programs downplay their potential impact on broader networks and public systems in Canada and globally.<\/p>\n

As a nation, Canada\u00a0is richer<\/a>\u00a0than ever. Yet funding for public education from the provincial public coffers is increasingly contentious. In Ontario, the Conservative government insists that it has\u00a0increased education funding, but the amount the province provides in per-pupil funding has decreased<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By chipping away at the collective will to fund schools through taxes by creating alternative funding streams, Canada is eroding education as a public good and replacing communities with individual consumers.<\/p>\n

By doing so, the divide\u00a0between rich and poor worsens<\/a>. For example, with acceptance of the idea that private funds should pay for education,\u00a0fees function<\/a>\u00a0to keep formerly public school programs inaccessible to some members of the public. Such divides can perpetuate damaging inequalities from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the growing sense that being equipped for the global economy means education is about completing modules and meeting standardized levels of productivity has set the perfect stage for cutting budgets by reducing teachers and forcing students into online learning.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not difficult to imagine how online learning curriculum in Ontario classrooms marketed beyond the province could be the next money-maker.<\/p>\n

School boards should not have to turn to revenue sources outside of the tax base in a country that is committed to excellence in public education.<\/p>\n

Impact on international students<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In 2018, CBC reported that a\u00a0lack of regulation in the industry supporting student home stays and lodgings may leave some youth vulnerable<\/a>. Right now, the lack of publicly available data on international high school students who are unaccompanied minors studying across Canada is troubling.<\/p>\n

The question of accountability to and for international high school students is particularly relevant given that studying as a minor in Canada is sometimes positioned as a\u00a0long-term pathway<\/a>\u00a0from secondary to post-secondary education or is accessed as a\u00a0route to citizenship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Globe and Mail<\/em>\u00a0flagged the impact on students when they encounter the\u00a0false promise<\/a>\u00a0of entry into post-secondary education as a route to citizenship from education brokers or agents abroad \u2014 but what of high school students? For younger students, who have had even less time to\u00a0accumulate the educational and professional accomplishments<\/a>\u00a0needed for permanent residency status, disappointment might be even harder to weather.<\/p>\n

Research and public awareness efforts in support of international students are needed. If Canadian provinces use international programs simply to subsidize funding gaps, it will ultimately damage confidence in school safety and value. Public education in Canada needs to be public in spirit and practice.<\/p>\n
