The document summarizes information about the Canadian Educational Resources Council (CERC) and issues around learning resources in Ontario. CERC represents educational resource companies that develop textbooks and digital learning tools for Ontario students. While some subjects like math have good resources, data shows only 10% of elementary students have approved science learning resources despite a new curriculum being introduced in 2008. Spending on learning resources in Ontario has declined over 40% since 2006 and is the lowest per student of any province. This lack of funding means fewer updated materials for teachers and students.
