What challenges are teachers and students facing in accessing learning materials?
Teachers
On average, teachers spend six hours per week searching for and creating teaching materials, and 25% of teachers spend 10 hours or more each week on this task.
To develop a full-year curriculum for one subject, teachers typically need around 500 hours.
Students
Surveys show that the achievement gap between students from advantaged backgrounds and those from disadvantaged backgrounds (including bilingual students) continues to widen from Grade 3 to Grade 9.
Accessing reliable, official materials is becoming increasingly difficult amidst an overwhelming amount of information from various sources, making it easier for students to encounter misinformation.
