OISE University of Toronto - Help!

Hello all,
For some background, I'm a 24-year-old University student, currently working on my MA in Philosophy in Ontario with a BA in Philosophy and Sociology with a minor in Criminology. I'm also doing some research for a professor on campus and I'm a teaching assistant for an introduction to philosophy class for first years.
I'm applying to UofT's MEd program in Pedagogy and Curriculum and the MEd program in Education and Leadership. Does anyone have any experience with this school? What would my job prospects be like post-grad? My dream would be working alongside teachers and students to help innovate in the field of education. I'm very passionate about education, but like anything anyone loves deeply, they see numerous flaws in it - flaws I'm interested in addressing.

The above information will be sufficient to address the post, but anyone interested can read on below.
I'm particularly interested in concepts such as meaning and purpose in relation to education. Various sociologists have addressed the fact that our institutions have been changing, growing, shrinking, and so on. Our religious institutions have been dying out in the west here too, yet science and technology, which have replaced the purview of such doctrines (metaphysically, epistemologically, etc.), have done little to tell us about actual value and purpose.

I'm interested in combining a humanism within education, teaching children what our current limitations are, what our current issues are as a global collective, and reinvigorating the idea of a collective purpose. As it stands right now I believe education is bankrupt of any legitimate overarching narrative outside of the narrative of knowledge accumulation, which is pushed by the creators of the curriculum with their very linear goal. But the question remains: knowledge accumulation for what?
