In October 2017, the Representative for Children and Youth (RCY) publicly released "Room for Improvement: Toward Better Education Outcomes for Children Care." The report focused on discrepancies in educational outcomes for children in government care compared to all children and made six recommendations to the ministries of Education and Children and Family Development. This report addresses one of those six recommendations: to publicly report on educational outcomes of children and youth in government care, by September 2018. This report focuses on students who have come into government care (CYIC), including those on a Continuing Custody Order (CCO), youth agreement (YAG), interim and temporary custody orders, special needs or voluntary care agreements, and children under custody orders from another province or jurisdiction. This report uses a Non-CYIC cohort as a reference point for the educational outcomes of children and youth in care. This cohort is not the same as a "provincial average" which includes students of all ages, including adults and graduated adults. The Non-CYIC cohort was defined to be consistent with the CYIC cohort definition. As the Ministry of Children and Family Development's Family Preservation programs improve, fewer children will come into government care and the ones who do come into care may have the greatest needs. It may become increasingly more difficult for CYIC to emulate Non-CYIC.
