New census data by Statistics Canada is shedding light on how cultural barriers may be driving differences in education levels between different generations of Black communities.

A closer look at the data on racialized groups released Jan. 18 shows there are significant differences in education levels among working-aged Black people who have recently entered the country, and those who are third-generation Canadians or more.

The differences between generations, though, show there is more work to do in addressing the challenges and barriers making access to education unequal in Canada, experts say.

As Kyle Benning reports, experts suggest family support, mentorship and representation are all keys to success for Black people seeking a higher education.
