The PC's have announced the return of a large chunk of funding for Education. While thats nice, it never should have been cut in the first place so they are simply correcting something which was done wrong. No extra points there.
Lukaszuk has decided not to go forward with bill 18, the new Education act in the Fall Legislative Session. Again a good idea, there are some changes which are not well thought out. Two that come to mind are mandatory schooling to age 17 and funding education for high school completion to age 21.
"Over the next few months we will be engaging students, parents, teachers and members of the community in a discussion on how the Education Act can make a difference in Alberta classrooms,” said Lukaszuk.
Sounds very political doesn't it ... talk talk talk. Everyone had input with "Inspiring Education." What they need is someone with a little common sense to sit down and write something sensible.
In the mean time teachers, TA's, principals and the entire eduction system will somehow forge forward without the brilliant guidance from our elected leaders.
