2007: Public attitudes toward education in Ontario
This was the 16th OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto) survey. The results were released September 6, 2007.
Almost three-quarters of Ontarians now favour increased spending on kindergarten to Grade 12 education, compared to less than half in 1996.
Sixty per cent of Ontarians were willing to pay higher taxes in support of education, compared to 50 per cent a decade ago.
Satisfaction with schools has continued to grow since 1998. Just over 60 per cent report that they are satisfied with the school system in general compared to 44 per cent in 1998.
