Need for Superior Education Apparent

today find tt ina
precarious position in Canada. Suddenly
the nation in a single decade appears to
be turning to its educational system for a
. Solution to its great unemployment prob-
‘lem. In the same Abin our: society has
st and our
need for superior methods, teachers,
Schools and universities is more and more
apparent.
“But. not only is society demanding
- more from its educational facilities, but
- today we find our school system compet-
ing in international politics. In other lands
where the direction of government docs
not come from free elections, dictator-
ships are openly boasting that their edu-
cational progress is a weapon they intend
to use in their drive to overcome our
civilization and thus our Semocratic ‘way
of life. |
Because unemployment is closest to
home it must become the immediate bat-
tle in which our people must engage. We
cannot buy ourselves out of our unem-
ployment problem, although the govern-
ments of this nation on almost every level
have been trying to do a pretty good job
at doing just that with our money.
In Canada today the great majority
‘ of unemployed citizens have a bleak out-
look. Many of them didn’t get to high
school and the great majority of those
who did had only a few years or months
o£ secondary education. To top this off
they did not acquire any trade or ‘skill
after‘ their formal education. Thus it is
the unskilled lat orers, Many of whom do
not possess enough education for proper
technical training, who are the real pro-
tem we must overcome,

A study by the Canadian Conference
on Education suggests that there are
2,000,000 Canadians that are ‘‘function-
ally illiterate’’,
