Book The Mis  under representation of Youth in Canadian Federal Policy and Policy Development

Download or read book The Mis under representation of Youth in Canadian Federal Policy and Policy Development written by Amy Brandon and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper addresses the issue of lack of meaningful youth participation in policy development in the Canadian Federal Government. It first provides an introduction into the concept of youth, and considers how we perceive youth in Western, and specifically, Canadian, society. Next, the concept of a national youth policy, as per the United Nation's definition, is addressed and the importance of nations having such a policy is discussed. Third, this paper examines what youth-based policy the Canadian government has developed and how it does and does not include young people in decision-making processes and policy development. Fourth, it reflects on the relationship between sustainable social development and youth, and examines how, without the inclusion of young people's voice, limitations may be placed on Canada's future nationally, and internationally. Ultimately, this paper hopes to create awareness of and encourage discussion about youth participation in policy development and how the Canadian government can work to improve its inclusion of youth voice, talent, and ability.

Book About Canada  Children   Youth

Download or read book About Canada Children Youth written by Bernard Schissel and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-01T00:00:00Z with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is a signatory on the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which guarantees the protection and care of children and youth. About Canada: Children and Youth examines each of the rights within the Canadian context – and finds Canada wanting. Schissel argues that although our expressed desire is to protect and care for our children, the reality is that young people, in Canada and around the world, often lack basic human rights. The lives of young people are steeped in abuse from the education and justice systems, exploitation by corporations, ill health and poverty. And while the hearts of Canadians go out to youth in distant countries suffering under oppressive circumstances, those same hearts often have little sympathy for the suffering of youth, particularly disadvantaged youth, within Canada. This book explores our contradictory views and argues that we must do more to ensure that the rights of the child are upheld.

  • Author : Paul Axelrod
  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 1997-05-02
  • ISBN : 1442690704
  • Pages : 167 pages

Download or read book The Promise of Schooling written by Paul Axelrod and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1997-05-02 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1800 and 1914, Canadian society and its school systems were forged, populated, expanded and reformed. The Promise of Schooling explores the links between social and educational change in this complex and dynamic period. It raises and seeks to answer a number of questions: How extensive was schooling in the early nineteenth century? What lay behind the campaign to extend publicly funded education? What went on inside the Canadian classroom? How did schools address the needs of Native students, blacks, and the children of immigrants? What cultural and social roles did universities serve by the beginning of the twentieth century? And how were schools affected by the economic and social pressures arising from the Industrial Revolution? The book contends that educational authorities built and reformed schools in ways that were not always consistent with their idealistic visions. Economic constraints, political expediency, and the agendas of ordinary citizens all influenced the life of the Canadian school in an era marked by dramatic social change. Drawing from an abundant scholarly literature published over the last two decades, this study seeks to expose readers to the richness of the field of educational history. Written for a broad audience, it also hopes, by providing historical context, to stimulate informed discussion about educational issues.
