Research Ideas

• Analyzing Education Accessibility: This dataset can be used to analyze the distribution and availability of educational facilities across different provinces or territories in Canada. By examining the facility types and their locations, researchers and policymakers can gain insights into the gaps in education accessibility and make informed decisions to improve access for all students.
• Identifying Language Minority Schools: The dataset includes information on Official Language Minority School (OLMS) status. This can be valuable for language planning and policy-making purposes, as it provides data on schools that cater to linguistic minority communities. Researchers can study the distri...
