Tuesday May 29th, I asked the Premier why his government was promising so much when it comes to education but has done so little - and why effective and innovative approaches are not been taken province-wide more quickly.
New
Approaches to Education
Mr. Gerrard: And yet the
Premier has not even committed yet to implement the education standard
for–under The Accessibility for Manitobans Act.
Madam Speaker, as we learned at a forum I
held recently on primary and secondary education, we need improved support for
teachers; we need to be quicker at taking effective innovations province-wide,
like the Roots of Empathy, Kids at Play and effective alternative learning
approaches, as have been used in the Seine River School Division–approaches
using music and art to promote learning and support for Manitoba's strengths in
French-language education.
Why is this government, which has promised
so much, done so little?
And so, if the member has suggestions on
reallocation of the funds we are investing, he should first recognize, quite accurately,
that contribution and that willingness to direct the resources that Manitobans
entrust to us as a government towards education as a top priority.
