To ensure that more underrepresented students successfully graduate from high school and make it to post-secondary, Ontario high schools should end the practice of streaming students in Grades 9 and 10 into academic and applied tracks of study, this report argues. It also recommends governments and institutions better fund and promote post-secondary transition and bridging programs.
