Election issues: Education
KAMLOOPS — The province is in a state of transition when it comes to its educational system.
A Supreme Court of Canada decision has classroom size and composition returning to 2002 levels, and teachers are now implementing a new curriculum.
As the election looms near the local candidates are making plans to ensure students have access to the best possible education, from Kindergarten, all the way through post-secondary.
“We’ve had an entire generation of kids that have grown up not feeling supported, and not getting everything they need to succeed,” said Kamloops-North Thompson NDP candidate Barb Nederpel.
