A new study has questioned whether high school adequately prepares students for post secondary education. More than half of Ottawans polled said high school graduates are simply not ready for University because of low academic standards.
That thinking was echoed by one Carleton University professor who told The Citizen it’s surprising when you see first year papers. He noted that he thinks more time should be spent on them. Even students said they feel ill-prepared.
The head of Ontario’s faculty union says one way to fix the problem is to invest more money into secondary school education.
