Surveying the Educational Experiences of Black and Racialized Students in Ontario

Abstract

There is a limited understanding of the educational experiences and needs of disabled and racialized students, including instances of unjust punishment in schools. The Disability Justice Network of Ontario (DJNO) is leading work to develop an educational toolkit and a recommendations report related to unjust punishment. We contributed to this project by analyzing survey data. We aimed to describe examples of unjust punishment in Ontario schools among Black, Indigenous, and racialized disabled students, and suggest supports and resources for students and caregivers/parents.
