Read the rest of our predictions for 2023 here.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Schools have become battlegrounds: in 2023, more parents will pull out of the public system, universities will face mass protests and grade schools will experience security threats. The upsides? Greater safety measures and new options in distance learning.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Here\u2019s a look at the year ahead in the world of education:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Student_safety_will_be_a_top_priority\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">1. <\/span>Student safety will be a top priority<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">Student life after the massacre in Uvalde, Texas, has become even more fraught with potential threats. Several schools in <\/span>Vancouver, Saskatoon and the Greater To<span class=\"s2\">ronto Area went into lockdown last year due to incidents near or on school property, and administrators are now spending portions of their budgets on video surveillance, self-locking doors and other security measures. Some Canadian students have <\/span>even reported fake emergencies\u2014<span class=\"s2\">including a 14-year-old Hamilton girl last May\u2014and such false alarms are only expected to continue. The going concern at school boards, and among parents, is that kids won\u2019t take safety measures seriously when a real threat presents itself.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_International_students_will_flock_to_our_schools\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">2. <\/span><b>International students will flock to our schools<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">Last year, Canada toppled the U.K. to become the third-most desirable study destination for international students (just behind the U.S. and Australia). That\u2019s good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> for colleges and universities: these students pay a premium. The government has also embraced more international pupils as a solution to a rapidly aging workforce, offering incentives like a temporary suspension of limits to off-campus work time. Paul Davidson, president of Universities Canada, wants schools to set targets for students specializing in health care, trades and the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>s to meet the needs of Canada\u2019s evolving labour market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_skilled-trades_gap_will_widen_to_a_chasm\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">3. <\/span><b>The skilled-trades gap will widen to a chasm<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\">By 2028, an unprecedented 700,000 skilled Canadian tradespeople are planning to retire. As a result, it will be harder and more expensive to build housing and critical infrastructure\u2014right when we need it most. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has hinted that in 2023, he\u2019ll introduce legislation that would shorten the existing year-long certification period to 30 days for out-of-province tradespeople (across 35 professions). The Trudeau government, which says 75,000 new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>rentices need to be hired annually to meet demand over the next half-decade, has launched a campaign to promote the most sought-after positions by region, with the hope that more young people choose a career in the skilled trades.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Post-secondary_grades_will_keep_inflating\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">4. <\/span><b>Post-secondary grades will keep inflating<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\">Universities often stake their reputations on GPAs and graduation rates, and students\u2014bolstered by grade inflation in high schools\u2014have come to expect better results, genuine or not. Since the early 2010s, class averages have been rising at McGill, Western, the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo. COVID only added more complexity to the mix, with professors\u2014mindful of struggles with distance learning\u2014skewing more lenient in their grading. University administrators are creating task forces to study the impact ballooning grades have on academic integrity, but it\u2019s a tough trend to reverse. In 2023, companies doing on-campus recruiting will be wondering whether transcripts reflect reality.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_More_parents_will_abandon_the_public_school_system\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">5.\u00a0<\/span><b>More parents will abandon the public school system<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">The remote-learning fiasco gave many parents fresh insight into how decades of budget cuts have undermined public schools. Even though Toronto\u2019s population is exploding, the Toronto District School Board projects a loss of more than 4,000 students in 2023. Meanwhile, enrolment at Canada\u2019s independent schools rose 21 per cent from 2006 to 2020. Among the reasons parents are choosing bespoke learning: more trust in the curricula, and the promise of individualized attention that students need to succeed. In Ontario, a quarter of all schools are now independent (a total of 1,576), and in 2023, that number will only grow.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Higher_learning_will_become_more_accessible\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">6. <\/span><b>Higher learning will become more accessible<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">Online and distance learning for post-\u200bsec<\/span>ondary credit exploded during the pandemic. In 2020, more than 660,000 Canadians chose to learn via MOOCs, or massive open online courses. (The University of Alberta and the University of Toronto, in particular, attracted tens of thousands of new registrants.) COVID also forced many instructors to spice up their teaching methods; Zoom can really flatten an instructor\u2019s delivery. And while MOOCs are typically free, they\u2019re lucrative for education-tech companies and course designers\u2014a market projected to be worth US$152 billion by 2032.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_More_schools_will_integrate_art_and_science\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">7. <\/span><b>More schools will integrate art and science<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">Since the early 1990s, academia has placed a heavy focus on the disciplines of STEM\u2014that\u2019s science, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, engineering and math. But many educators argue that an arts-free curriculum short-circuits critical thinking. Enter STEAM, an emerging learning philosophy that mixes the sciences and the arts using challenges like maze building (which requires problem solving) and video-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> creation (coding plus storytelling). University admissions officers are advocating for STEAM education from K to 12 as a way to guarantee more well-rounded learners. In Ontario, some school boards are even hiring consultants to run workshops on optics, acoustics and automation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1242296 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YA-WEB-05-e1670262654663.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1752\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Schools_will_struggle_to_manage_student_protesters\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">8. <\/span><b>Schools will struggle to manage student protesters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">In 2021, protesters beheaded a statue of Ryerson University\u2019s namesake and founder, an architect of residential schools. The revolt caused the school to rebrand in 2022 as Toronto Metropolitan University, and sparked similar reckonings at Queen\u2019s, McGill, Dalhousie and the University of New Brunswick. Campuses are used to political heat but, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>, today\u2019s students are better organized and tapped into an international push for social justice. They\u2019re demanding instructors resign over missteps and calling for more diverse faculty and curricula. In response, administrators are doing what they do best: studying the matter. Concordia University, for example, formed an anti-Black racism task force with eight sub-committees, which released recommendations late last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_AI_will_match_students_with_study-abroad_programs\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>9. <\/i><\/span><b>AI will match students with study-abroad programs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">More students are relying on education tech to navigate the post-secondary landscape, and there are few better examples of its potential than ApplyBoard. The eight-year-old tech company, based in Kitchener, Ontario, was launched by UWaterloo mechanical and mechatronics engineering grad Martin Basiri\u2014along with his younger twin brothers Massi and Meti\u2014to make study<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ing abroad easier than ever. The AI-pow<\/span><span class=\"s2\">ered platform matches students with international <\/span>study programs and recruiters at 1,600 in<span class=\"s2\">stitutions, providing guidance in a slick, intuitive package. Martin was inspired to start the company after battling red tape during a move from Iran to Ontario to study. So far, more than 400,000 students have used the tech, and the company is now valued at $4 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Universities_will_incorporate_Indigenous_knowledge_into_their_programs\"><\/span><b>10. Universities will incorporate Indigenous knowledge into their programs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">This September, the University of Victoria will launch the world\u2019s first-ever MBA program devoted to Indigenous reconciliation, in which students will study business <\/span><span class=\"s3\">administration in Indigenous not-for-profit <\/span><span class=\"s2\">organizations. It\u2019s one of many recent <\/span>attempts to fill the Indigenous knowledge gap in Canadian academia, inspired by recommendations outlined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In addition to the MBA, UVic will offer a master\u2019s degree in Indigenous nursing. Other new academic efforts include a new specialized Indigenous law certificate from the University of Ottawa, a mandatory Indigenous-knowledge course for undergrads at the University of Prince Edward Island and\u2014starting this year\u2014a dental therapy program at the University of Saskatchewan that will address the field\u2019s labour shortage and train students for work in Northern communities.<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">This story is part of our annual \u201cYear Ahead\u201d collection.
