‘Stand up for Education’ campaign launched in Alberta
The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) and the Alberta School Councils’ Association (ASCA) have teamed up on a new advertising campaign.
It’s focusing on the future of education and changes being made and proposed by the provincial government. Late last month, the ATA completed a review of the province’s draft K-6 curriculum.
Since the curriculum was unveiled, it has received sharp criticism from parents and educational groups.
President of the ATA, Jason Schilling said “the government is making dangerous changes to the curriculum, slashing education funding and increasing class sizes.”
