Education Act 2012
Education is the key to Alberta’s future. Future generations of students will face an increasingly complex world and we must set a path for their success. Our education system must embrace change, respond to the diverse needs of our students and provide high quality, personalized and socially engaging learning opportunities.
Last fall, government pulled back Bill 18 to have one last opportunity to hear from those most affected – students, parents, teachers and school support staff – about this very important and far-reaching legislation.
Bill 2, the Education Act, is the result of the input from thousands of Albertans’ vision for the future of education in our province. The new legislation builds on the strengths of the first draft, making a strong bill even stronger and reflects the overwhelming response from Albertans that our first responsibility is to make students the centre of all decisions related to learning and education.
