Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the school book scheme implemented by the Whitney Government in Ontario, Canada, which aimed to reduce the cost of educational materials. It delves into the events leading up to the adoption of this policy, including the political motivations and the role of the Royal Commission. The author, an experienced publisher and industry expert, provides an insightful analysis of the scheme's impact on the quality of textbooks and educational outcomes. The book places the Ontario case study within the broader context of government involvement in selecting and producing school books. It explores the challenges of balancing cost-effectiveness with educational standards and the potential consequences of political interference in the publishing process. Through the author's firsthand experiences and observations, the book offers valuable insights into the dynamics between politicians, educators, and the business of education. Ultimately, this book contributes to the understanding of the complex relationship between education policy and the provision of quality learning materials. It serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of sacrificing educational values in the pursuit of financial savings and highlights the importance of independent and informed decision-making in shaping the educational landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
