Research Abstract |
Against the backdrop of cuts in school budgets, a growing number of companies have been doing sponsorship activities to support schools since the 1990s in Canada. The most controversial examples of this phenomenon are those where a company provides funds while publicizing itself, which the teachers’ union has criticized, fearing that it can impair the public nature of education. Moreover, in a province with regulations prohibiting companies from doing commercial advertisements for children at school, consumer protection agencies and teachers have come to take particular note of education for advertising ethics.
