Ontario curriculum materials indicate the course was designed as an alternative to compulsory English courses and shares the same learning areas, while exploring a range of Indigenous literary, oral, media and cultural texts. The board directed staff to prepare a report by June with details on how and when to roll out the new required course to all of its 110 secondary schools.
The Toronto board is the latest to bring in the change after school boards in York and Durham regions also voted to make the course a compulsory Grade 11 English credit.

TDSB makes Indigenous course required English credit for Grade 11Canada\u0027s largest school board has voted to make its required English credit for Grade 11 students a class focused on Indigenous works. Using children to cover up govt actions on Indigenous people ! Blame society for treatment that govt caused it sounds like the solution !! I think the govt needs to be educated not our children .. 25% of the English curriculum for Toronto high school students now consists of authors chosen for their ethnic origin, not quality, importance, influence or anything else. Pathetic. How about people learn proper English?

Toronto school board makes Indigenous course required English creditTDSB chair calls it a meaningful step as the board works to implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action Yessss! Now could their school board talk to Ron DeathSantis? Please? 25% of the entire high school English curriculum is now “indigenous authors”. Not based on merit, or quality, or notoriety, or impact. Solely based on their ethnicity. Shameful. I’d rather learn French than this.
