Irvin Studin is Editor-in-Chief at Global Brief Magazine and President of the Centre for 21st Century Questions.

While not downplaying the importance of health and safety and the quality of learning environments, Irvin Studin suggests that Canadian students, and our wider society, suffer as the result of a lack of national vision for education, and someone in the country who goes to bed worrying about that deficit.
