This article deals with the OECD Report of 1976 on Canadian education. It reviews issues concerned with the planning, aims, and assumptions of Canadian education. The article focuses on a critique, occurring in Appendix B of the OECD Report, that attacks the most fundamental assumptions of the Canadian public school system. The criticism charges that the Canadian school system is organized along the lines of an old-fashioned industrial enterprise with children treated as raw materials that are processed through grade 12 where the best go on for further academic processing in universities. The article concurs with the view of the OECD Report.
