Carol Henderson, President of the Alberta Teachers' Association, and Jacquie Hansen, President of the Alberta School Boards' Association, join
Alberta Primetime to discuss the need for long-term planning around education supported by sustainable and predictable funding. Both organizations are concerned that while there will be 6,000 new students in our education system next year, approximately 1,200 teachers are being laid off. Alberta Education is projecting 100,000 new students by the end of the decade.
