Abstract
- This article discusses various issues and developments in the field of education in Canada. It highlights the increasing focus on artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, with institutions offering new courses to enhance understanding of AI. Ontario high school students are now required to complete a technology credit, aiming to prepare them for future job demands. Language tensions are expected to escalate in Quebec schools, with potential tuition increases for out-of-province students and changes to language instruction. The article also addresses the controversy surrounding pronoun policies in schools and the need for EV-centric programs to train technicians for the growing electric vehicle industry. Additionally, the article mentions new protective measures for international students, but notes that tensions between India and Canada may lead to a decrease in Indian students choosing Canada as a study destination. Efforts are being made to support First Nations students, including waiving tuition fees at some universities. However, students may face challenges in finding suitable housing, and modular classrooms are being considered as a solution to overcrowding. [Extracted from the article]
