Province launches choice in education survey

Nov 11, 2019 | 9:30 AM

Albertans are being invited to take part in a new online survey from the Government of Alberta which aims to identify opportunities to protect and enhance education choice.

Input can be given until Dec. 6.

“We committed to Albertans that our government would introduce a Choice in Education Act to affirm that parents have the primary responsibility for the education of their children. Hearing what this means to Albertans is an important first step towards meeting this commitment,” says Adriana LaGrange, Education Minister, and Red Deer-North MLA.

LaGrange adds that legislation is expected to be tabled in the spring of 2020.

The government is also engaging with stakeholders in the education system, a release states.

The survey can be accessed on the Government of Alberta website.
