Learning

Impact on Toronto:

“Education is broader than numeracy and literacy — it is about acquiring a set of tools that allow us to bounce back from crisis. Without skills, the cycles of poverty and isolation cannot be overcome.”
— Shelina Karmali, Executive Director, (PEACH) Promoting Education and Community Health

Why it matters:

The more opportunities we have to learn throughout our lives, the more innovative, productive and adaptable we are. Successful communities offer residents abundant, affordable, and flexible opportunities to learn in formal school settings, at work, or online.

• The high-school drop-out rate in the Region has dropped by 92 per cent since 1990.
• The 2010 post-secondary completion rate in the Toronto Region is 56.1 per cent higher than in 1990.
