Schools and teachers in the Province of Ontario (Part I) Public and Separate Schools, November 1949, is a primary canadian education report that records the state of public and separate schools across Ontario at a decisive postwar moment.

For students of ontario school history and of canadian educational history more broadly, the book's contemporary statistics and administrative detail form an essential record for those researching historical school statistics Ontario and the evolution of local governance in schooling.

As a contemporaneous official record this volume occupies an important place in the archive of mid-century public policy and educational reform. Accessible to casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, it rewards curiosity with first-hand perspective and invites education researchers, teachers and archivists to compare its data with later developments; archivists and collectors will value its provenance while the casually curious gain a vivid sense of how schools negotiated social change in the late 1940s.
