Minister of Education Cliff Cullen unveiled Bill 64, a massive overhaul of the Manitoba K-12 education system, on March 15 at the Manitoba legislature.
Last month, the provincial government released the results of its long-awaited K-12 Education Review. While much will be made about the stated goals of “modernizing,” “reforming” and searching for “efficiencies,” the effects of the Public Schools Modernization Act will be both anti-democratic and discriminatory.

WINNIPEG - The Progressive Conservative government plans to eliminate all but one of Manitoba s elected school boards, merge school divisions and set up a provincewide education authority.
Education Minister Cliff Cullen said Monday changes to kindergarten to Grade 12 schooling are aimed at cutting $40 million in administration costs and redirecting the money to the classroom. Our system has more (school board) trustees per capita than anywhere else in Canada. Our administration expenses as a percentage of costs are higher than most other provinces, Cullen said.
