Albertan organization comes to Medicine Hat to spark discussion on education system
MEDICINE HAT, AB — An Albertan organization is trying to spark a discussion about the education system in Alberta.
“What we’re trying to do is ask Albertan’s to engage in a conversation around their public education system and say ‘look, we spend $8.4-billion dollars a year on our publicly funded system, could we be doing it better?’” said Pat Cochrane, Chair for the Together for Students Campaign.
The discussion made its way to Medicine Hat on Saturday afternoon. Cochrane believes that the framework for Alberta’s education system might be due for a change.
“The main framework was created in 1905. Should we be challenging and questioning that framework in 2019?”
