Costing Educational Inequity: The Case for a “Social Determinants of Education”

While often imagined as “great equalizer,” recent research affirms that students from mariginalized and racialized backgrounds are particularly affected by educational inequity. Nowhere is this more evident than Jane and Finch in northwest Toronto where Success Beyond Limits (SBL) has been working toward addressing these longstanding barriers. By employing the SBL Graduation Model – a combination of wrap around supports and mentoring throughout secondary school, SBL has worked toward addressing barriers marginalized students face in schooling. This project works to understand the impact of SBL’s “Graduation Model” on those who have gone through it -namely SBL Alumni – specifically analyzing their post-secondary trajectories. TO BE CONT’D
