Abstract

It is argued that a changed concept of national unity, which recognizes the value of a multi-ethnic, multicultural Canadian society, is the basis on which educational provisions for minority groups should be developed. The historical survey of minority group schooling notes that the earlier provisions which afforded protection - at least for elitist minority groups - gave way to schooling programs more aimed at the integration and assimilation of minority groups. An ideal more generous than either of these uses of schooling is proposed.
