Accountability Pillar

Accountability Pillar Surveys

As part of the Accountability Pillar, Alberta Education conducts surveys of teachers, students and their parents to gather information on the quality of education provided by Alberta school authorities and their schools. The teacher and student surveys are conducted online and parents are surveyed by mail.

  • In public, separate and francophone schools, all teachers, grade 4, 7 and 10 students and their parents are surveyed. Please note that in small schools (fewer than 120 students in grades 4-12) and schools participating in the High School Flexibility Enhancement Project the survey includes students in grades 4 and above and their parents.
  • In charter and private schools all teachers, students in grades 4 and above and their parents are included in the survey.

The results are provided to each school jurisdiction to use in updating their three-year education plans and to report in their annual education results reports, and are used to evaluate school authority performance on Accountability Pillar survey measures. Survey results and sample survey instruments in English and Français are available below.
