After more than fifty years inside Canadian education - as a science teacher, school superintendent, university faculty member, and founder of an independent academy in Toronto - Alfred Abouchar has written an honest examination of an institution that has lost its bearings.
Across twenty-five chapters and five sections, Restoring Trust In Education traces how a system that once cultivated minds and formed citizens has come to manage perceptions, inflate grades, stage reform, and produce graduates whose credentials announce more than their education has delivered. Drawing on Canadian and international evidence - from PISA results to employer surveys, from university skills studies to the daily realities of contemporary classrooms - the book builds a diagnosis that is at once empirical, philosophical, and personal.
But this is not a book of complaint. It is a book of recovery.
The final third proposes the conditions under which schools can once again become what they were established to be: places of substance rather than spectacle, of formation rather than performance, of intellectual seriousness rather than therapeutic accommodation. It examines what a renewed Education Act would require; what a serious commitment to bilingualism would look like; how the teaching profession must be rebuilt; what moral coherence in schooling means; and what the four daily pillars - teaching, classwork, homework, and assessment - must again become.
The book closes with a personal account: a life that began at Collège Saint-Marc in Alexandria, traversed the Canadian public system across half a century, and culminated in the founding of La Citadelle International Academy of Arts and Science - an attempt to enact in practice the convictions the book defends in principle.
Restoring Trust In Education is written for teachers who have not given up, for parents who are watching their children educated by a system they no longer fully trust, for school leaders who sense that the frameworks they have inherited are no longer adequate to the work, and for anyone who believes that schools can still be what they were meant to be.
It is the testimony of a life in classrooms, and the argument of a man who has thought carefully about what education is for.

About the Author
Educated at Collège Saint-Marc in Alexandria and at the American University in Cairo, where he completed a double-major Bachelor of Science in Physics and Chemistry, he immigrated to Canada and earned advanced Master degrees in Physics and Education from the University of Western Ontario and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, respectively.
He has been a senior physics teacher, a department head, a dean, a provincial consultant in mathematics and the sciences, and Superintendent of Curriculum, Research, and Continuing Education at the Ottawa-Carleton French-language school board. He served on the Ontario Advisory Council on Multiculturalism and Citizenship nominated by successive Premiers, founded the Association Multiculturelle Francophone de l'Ontario, and mentored future teachers as Professor at the faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa.
He is the founder of La Citadelle International Academy of Arts and Science in Toronto, an independent school he established to enact the convictions defended in his writing. He is also the author of several Grade 9 science textbooks and Grade 11 physics textbooks used in Ontario and Quebec schools, one of which received the Hilroy Scholarship for Innovation in Education and the Roy C. Hill Foundation Award.
Restoring Trust In Education: A Call for Values, Vision, and Integrity in Our Schools is the work of a life spent in classrooms, in leadership, and in the slow building of an institution. It is the book he has been writing, in one form or another, since he first walked into a classroom as a teacher more than half a century ago.
He lives in Toronto.

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
