B.C. curriculum appears to be top contender, but territory is still considering all options
As early as the 2022-2023 school year, students across the N.W.T. will be taught with a renewed curriculum, but the government is still trying to decide which province is the best contender to model off of.
Research has been well underway to determine which direction will be best suited for the values and priorities of education in the territory, with British Columbia being the likely top contender.
During a public meeting held on Tuesday, top government officials with the department of Education, Culture and Employment along with MLAs discussed, what the territory’s next steps should be in its plan to renew the territory’s curriculum. They hope to have a decision ready by the end of this August and begin implementation in 2022.
