This would seem to be an appropriate time to reassess Ontario's educational system, par- ticularly in the Tight of two new developments: the in- troduction of mandatory core curriculum studies, with new teaching guidelines; and the establishment of a govern- ment commission to study the effect of declining enrolment. In the late 1960s, the philosophy of freedom of choice with respect to courses. was introduced into the school system, under the aegis of the then Minister of Education, Bill Davis. The Government Interface Study of November 1976 confirmed criticisms . -of the Liberal Party and general public that high school students were . i graduating from school ill- prepared for _ hig.her education or participation -in the work force. Last October 6, we released a comprehensive policy paper, suggesting "New Directors , for Education", much of which has been adopted by the Provincial Minister of Education. Mandatory courses have been established for Grades 9 and 10, ,and over two years students must take 2 English courses, 2 maths, 2 Canadian history and -or geography and 1 science. Current senior students (Grade 11, 12 and 13) are required to take 2 English courses. While introduction of core curriculum at the in- termediate level appears difficult, in fact most students have chosen these same courses in the past. The new "refinements" are intended to guarantee that all students receive a sound basic education. GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1977-4AGE 7A However, there are several problems which hopefully will be resolved in the near future. Core curriculum applied only to students entering Grade 9, and there is no assurance that students in higher grades (or entering Grade 10) from another school will receive instruction in these essential subjects. Also teacher guidelines which correspond to core curriculum have come under heavy criticism for being. Inappropriate, poorly focussed, lacking fun- damentals and vaguely outlined. This is especially true with respect to history, called "Canadian Studies", and maths. Senator Eugene Forsey has described the Intermediate History Guidelines as "a mass of fluff". The maths guidelines are not mandatory until the fall of 1979. Canadiar geography is still not a required subject. Last October, the Minister of Education made the point that 'curriculum guidelines will be revised to 'ensure that every student knows enough about our history and our geography. . .' Yet a later directive from his Ministry makes it clear that students could take either one history and one geography, or two history courses, thereby avoiding geography.
