We strongly encourage your feedback on the recommendations - both those in support of them and comments to enhance them.

The K-12 and Technical Sub-Committee Report which focuses on the transition between the sectors have also been posted at the following links:

Development of proposed Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) education standards – 2021 initial recommendations report | Ontario.ca

Accessible transitions for students with disabilities in kindergarten to grade 12 (K-12): to the workforce, the community and postsecondary education | Ontario.ca

This posting marks an important milestone for Postsecondary education in Ontario and for students with disabilities. The reports will be posted for a period of 65 business days, concluding on September 29, 2021.

Ministry staff are also accepting written submissions on the committee’s behalf by email at postsecondarySDC@ontario.ca

The ministry will also be coordinating the availability of the reports in alternate formats, if requested.

Once the feedback period concludes, ministry staff will compile all the feedback and provide us the PSE-SDC with a summary as well for our review. The PSE-SDC will be considering all public feedback before we finalize our recommendations, in preparation for submitting our final report to the Minister for consideration.

I encourage you to share this news across your networks and encourage your feedback.
