In February 2015, the Ontario Alliance of Black School Educators (ONABSE) contracted with Turner Consulting Group Inc. to conduct research into the experiences of Black educators in Ontario. The goal of this research was to give voice to the experiences and perspectives of Black educators, the challenges they face, and identify how best ONABSE can continue to work to influence public policy concerning the education of African Canadian people.
