What is the test for a parent's educational plan for their child?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Deschenes v. Medwayosh, 2016 ONCJ 567 (CanLII):

[14] As Justice C. J. Jones of our court wrote in paragraph 16 of her decision in Bandas v. Demircloch, 2013 ONCJ 679 [16]….it is implicit that a parent’s plan for the child’s education, and his or her capacity and commitment to carry out the plan are important elements affecting a child’s best interests. In developing a child’s educational plan, the unique needs, circumstances, aptitudes and attributes of the child, must be taken into account.
