What does the Alberta Government have in store for Education? Check out Assembly Online at 3 pm today for the Speech from the Throne.
Update: The text of the Speech from the Throne is now available on the Alberta Government website. Excerpts from the speech that address education appear below:
...It's time for foundational change. It won't be easy, but it is the right way to better manage the annual unpredictability in the budgeting process.
And it begins now. Budget 2012 will bring predictable funding on a three-year cycle to education, advanced education and municipalities. Your government will work with its partners in these areas to allow for greater stability, improved long-term planning and delivery of outcomes...
...Alberta must be able to succeed and thrive in the global knowledge economy, and that means giving every Albertan the opportunity to benefit from a cutting-edge education, from kindergarten to post-secondary, so everyone can reach their full potential...
...It will revamp Alberta's education system so all graduates can hit the ground running and contribute more effectively than ever.
