We wholeheartedly support the decision made by the Holy Spirit Catholic School Division to notparticipate in piloting the draft curriculum for Kindergarten to Grade 6. We are in full agreement as the draft curriculum, as presented, would be detrimental to our children’s education.

Alberta currently has a high quality education system, as evidenced by a recent number three standing in the PISA math test.

Now, less than two years later, she is expressing concern with the results of Alberta students in international reading and writing tests. If that were truly the case, it would suggest further investments in education are needed, not necessarily a complete rethink of what and how students are being taught.

Trustees passed a motion 6-2 Tuesday afternoon that, if the resolution is approved and passes at the ASBA meeting, would see the association lobby the government to halt the curriculum pilots and demand a rewrite. It says the draft is rife with errors and plagiarism, is not age-appropriate, and it does not reflect the province’s diversity.
