Black-focused schools
A proposal to create Canada’s first black-focused public school was approved by toronto District School Board trustees Tuesday night. They have recommended the creation of an alternative school that features a curriculum and teaching environment oriented around black history and culture. The vote took place after an evening debate on the controversial proposal, which critics believe is a plan for segregation, while supporters believe it could keep more black students in school. Trustees heard from a number of delegations including academics, parents, teachers and students. Some parents have said they want to try something new because the current system isn’t working. As many as 40 per cent of black students don’t graduate from toronto high schools. Do you think Africentric schools are the right approach? What’s your view?
