The Toronto District School Board has approved a proposal for opening Afrocentric schools this year.
The hopes are to help remedy the 40 percent drop out rate amongst black youth.
The African-centred school would teach students from junior kindergarten to Grade 8. It would have more black teachers and mentors, a focus on students’ heritage and more parent involvement.
Students would attend by their own volition. Further articles here and here.
What do you think? Is this a massive step backwards, or a new way forward?
