Report cards are out. The Ford government says it has a plan to help students catch up. Is turning to the private sector a solution — or part of the problem?

in catch-up payments to parents — $200 or $250 per child — to pay for tutoring, supplies or equipment that enhance learning.

At Singh’s Kumon centre, she’s even seeing kids who don’t need catching up taking advantage of the private tutoring paid for by the board. Rather than make it available to all students, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, she thinks the board should have made it “needs-based,” requiring a referral from a teacher.

So far, her girls are “enjoying” tutoring, adding they seem “motivated,” and even “excited to read” because she’ll now see them at home immersed in a book, or doing homework. “That’s a lot of money that could’ve gone into publicly funded schools.... It just wasn’t possible, given the restraints. In a perfect world, we would rather that this didn’t happen.”

Elsewhere in the GTA, school boards have taken different approaches when it comes to partnering with private companies. For instance, neither Durham nor York’s public boards have contracted any. Meanwhile, Durham’s Catholic board has 27 companies providing $500 in tutoring, about 10 one-hour sessions, to its most vulnerable students — each school was allocated tutoring spaces based on enrolment, and whether it’s in a priority neighbourhood.

She says it was important the TDSB partner with local groups that have strong ties with students, noting, “We want to service kids in their neighbourhoods.” Sandra Pierre, beyond 3:30 program director, says the foundation wants to secure funding to run the tutoring program until June, noting, “Kids were already behind before the pandemic and COVID exacerbated it — some are now two years behind their peers.”
