As a country, Canada has the narrowest gap in achievement between children from well-to-do and low-income homes (Canada Is Not Becoming Outclassed – Dec. 10). The world over, educating children living in poverty is the biggest problem educators face… Of the several reasons for Canada’s success, the most important for me is that Canada attracts applicants to our faculties of education from the top third of university graduates, as does Finland, while the U.S. and U.K. draw their teachers from the bottom third of university graduates.
