These points are particularly interesting at the moment. The Alberta charter school community will learn their fate in the spring when Minister of Education Dave Hancock reopens the School Act. Hancock has completed a year-long public consultation on the future of education in Alberta, examining what can be done to make Alberta education better and what the role of charter schools should be in the public education system. So far, charter schools have succeeded in providing choice in the educational system. Families can choose to attend a charter school instead of a regular public school and charter school programming has stimulated some of the larger school boards to offer alternative programming. They have also succeeded in providing enhanced learning outcomes to their students. Charte...
On August 17, a new $25 million K-12 school was unveiled at the Birch Narrows First Nation attended by Member of Parliament Rob Clarke, Minister of Education Donna Harpauer, and Chief Robert Sylvester.
[...] why doesn't everyone write or email our premier and the minister of education and demand that the board's decision be reversed until there can be a binding referendum in this fall's municipal election on whether there will or will not be a French school in the Brandon School Division.
The minister of education made some exaggerated statements in his letter about the cost of living allowance (COLA) for retired teachers (Good for teachers, taxpayers, Sept. 18). He says that "Bill 45 will provide for a COLA of up to two-thirds CPI for the next 10 years." Hogwash! When there's no money there, up to two-thirds cannot be paid. The government took the teachers' money for COLA throughout their careers, so where is it? The minister talks about how unfair it is to "ask Manitoba taxpayers to shoulder such an unfair portion of the cost of fixing this long-standing problem" for retired teachers. I believe it's fair to at least give them back their money, with or without interest. What is truly unfair is having taxpayers shoulder the total cost of indexing MLA pensions, which the ...
Even after the promise to continue the freeze was revealed, Doer's minister of Advanced Education and Literacy responded with a dubious lesson in semantics, pointing out the difference between "extending" and "maintaining" a tuition freeze. In one of the most lacklustre political performances ever, she argued that "extend" means for a finite time period, whereas as "maintain" means an indefinite continuation of the policy. The NDP committed to ensuring 700 nurses were hired -- but did they mean on a one-year contract? I doubt it. The party guaranteed not to privatize Hydro. Is that a one-year guarantee on parts only? Unlikely. Words like "continue", "keep", and "build" were used, or no action words at all, just quantities like "100 more doctors". Despite the variety of ways in which pro...
Israel's population is significantly older. But more than one-seventh of Israelis arrived in the country after 1990, mainly due to the large influx of immigration from the former Soviet Union. Figuring in the 1,010,900 immigrants who arrived in the last 17 years, Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics data show that 52 per cent of Israelis were not around 24 years ago (there is no available data for 1967) and 84 per cent were not around 44 years ago. These figures also underscore the fact that most Palestinians have never been in Israel, and, certainly, that most Israelis have never seen the Arab towns, villages and refugee camps of the West Bank or Gaza. Indeed, most Israelis don't even know where Israel ends and the West Bank starts: Israel's minister of education is now fighting to ha...
