Fifty-four years after being committed to a mental institute in india, 77-year-old Machal Lalung was found to be epileptic, not mentally III - Reuters Neglecting education fails Ontario students

After a decade of toxic relations between teachers and government and the hasty elimination of the OAC year, Ontario now boasts the second highest drop-out rate in tlie nation Nearly a third of the province's students don't finish high school. Though Ontano may currently be Canada's economic power-house, our drop-out rate is 20 per cent higher than in the Maritime, where many schools are more poorly funded than ours. Mammotli federal and provincial social spending cuts have seen Canada slip further behind Scandinavian economies that re-invest heavily in their citizens. If Ontario's government were really run like a business - as Harris' government used to proclaim - Ontano would soon be banki-upt due to our abject failure to invest in our workforce's intellectual and physical well-being. The government's recent throne speech promise to keep kids in school until age 18 will only be effective if students are sufficiently stimulated to want to stay in school that long. A new alternative secondary school diploma, increasing emphasis on apprenticeships and workplace preparation programs may encourage more students to stay in school.

However what ha|)pens in our classrooms is not the only factor con- tributing to high drcjp-out rates. According to government studies a large factor in determining whether students go to colleges or universities is what level of higher education their own parents pursued.
