Overall, immunization rates in Toronto schools are high and help to keep kids safe by preventing outbreaks in schools. 2018 to 2019 School Year • Overall coverage rate for diphtheria, tetanus, polio vaccine is 89 per cent with 1.7 per cent for philosophical/religious exemptions. • Overall coverage rate for measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine is 94 per cent with 1.7 per cent for philosophical/religious exemptions. Technical Notes • The data was taken on August 1, 2019 from Panorama, the provincial information system used for tracking immunizations. • The data captures immunization coverage rates of Toronto students, seven to 17 (born between 2001 and 2011) by school, for the 2018/19 school year. • The immunization rate is expressed as a proportion of students, who were complete for their age, for the particular vaccine antigens amongst all the students enrolled in the school for the 2018/19 school year. • Percentages for the schools may not add up to 100 as the difference represents individuals that are not complete for age with their vaccinations or have a medical or administrative exemption. • Only the four publicly funded school boards in Toronto are included in this report.

  • Intervening Through Supplemental Education Programs: Evidence from Toronto's Jane and Finch Community
    INTERVENING THROUGH SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS: EVIDENCE FROM TORONTO’S JANE AND FINCH COMMUNITY. Authors: Bryan Ekeh, Chinweizu Francis Okeke Literature Review Contributed by: Humber College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hanada Kardassopoulos Educational Consultant Devon Jones YAAACE Founder and Organizer Brendan Beckett Humber College Research Team Jennifer Fortune Humber College Research Team Jessonnica Chacin Humber College Research Team Tim Gao Humber College Research Team TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 5 LITERATURE REVIEW 7 PROGRAM DETAILS 15 METHODOLOGY 21 DATA INSTRUMENTS AND COLLECTION 24 RESULTS 27 JURISDICTIONAL SCAN 28 LIMITATIONS AND AREAS FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENT 30 DISCUSSION 32 WORKS CITED 34 ABSTRACT Standardized testing scores show a two-tiered public education system exists in Canada. In Toronto, for example, schools in the Jane and Finch community consistently score lower on provincial literacy and math tests than the city’s average by 11.3% in primary school, 14% in middle school, and 24% in secondary school. In response to achievement gaps in the two-tiered public school system, community groups operate Supplement Education Programs (SEPs) that aim to improve math and literacy levels by offering academic instruction after school hours, on weekends, and during summer breaks, often combined with unconventional activities like sports or arts. During the summer of 2019, the research nonprofit, Road Home Research & Analysis, partnered with the Youth Association for Academics, Athletics and Character Education in Toronto’s Jane and Finch community to study how SEPs can better close student achievement gaps. Following a 7-week small-group leveled learning intervention involving a sample size of 101 elementary and middle school students, this research documented a 13% improvement in their average literacy scores.
