Researchers looked at data over 10 years and found disabled students and those from marginalized racial groups go on to college, university at a lower rate.
There are big differences in the rate at which high school graduates from Toronto’s public school board are going on to university or college when analyzed by race and disability,That is “deeply concerning,” said lead author Kelly Gallagher-Mackay, associate professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. “It’s not only the end of high school that matters — it’s what happens after.”
Overall, 16 per cent of TDSB graduates didn’t go on to post-secondary. By comparison, 20 per cent of Black students, 25 per cent of Latin American and 21 per cent of mixed-race students did not. About 22 per cent of white students didn’t, but Gallagher-Mackay notes that other research shows white boys, in particular, are far more likely to end up in high-paying apprenticeships.
“We also have to think about the larger society’s messages to some of these students, and some of these parents, about their background,” he told the Star. “It’s not simply what’s happening in school.” Researchers say there were disparities for marginalized groups in the enrolment of U courses even when they controlled for prior achievementFor instance, they looked at kids who got straight A’s in Grade 9 and overall, 99 per cent went on to take the Grade 12 English U course, which is a launching pad for post-secondary studies. Among those high achievers, about 96 per cent of Black and Latin American kids, and only 80 per cent of those with disabilities, went on to take that English course.
