The Ontario government is committed to enabling all students to reach their potential, and to succeed

The ministry recognizes that every student is unique and that each must have opportunities to achieve success according to his or her own interests, abilities, and goals. It also recognizes that among children and youth who are at risk of not succeeding are those with special education needs.

Everyone in our publicly funded education system – regardless of background or personal circumstance – must feel engaged and included.

The fundamental principle driving this work is that every student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of ancestry, culture, ethnicity, gender identity, language, physical and intellectual ability, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other factors.

The Ministry of Education of Ontario is committed to ensuring that all learners have the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in a rapidly changing society and that they are provided with the learning opportunities and supports they require.
