In recent years, there has been a large increase in demand for Private School education, which is directly correlated with Doug Ford’s systematic defunding of the public education system. This defunding is part of a broader plan to manufacture the privatization of all currently-public welfare systems.

In today’s podcast episode, I do a deep dive into:

* The current segregation within public schools, and between public and private education

* The true cost of privatizing education, from the perspective of an educator

* The problematic nature of the message that Private school education is inherently superior to Public school education

* The conservative values spread within Private school culture

* My personal experiences as a student within the Private and Public school systems

While the case studies I discuss focus on the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Private School system, the discussion of privatization of Education is applicable on a much broader scale, not only to Ontario, but also to Canada, and even to other Global North countries that are currently trending right wing politically.
