WINNIPEG Mounting opposition to Bill 64 to overhaul Manitoba’s education system has prompted the provincial government to release a new fact versus fiction document. Cliff Cullen, the province’s education minister, said the concerns are largely based on politically motivated misinformation campaigns aimed at intentionally misleading Manitobans. “Unfortunately, the purpose of their campaign is to instill fear and anxiety in parents and educators,” Cullen said during a media conference Monday. The bill paves the way for the province’s English-language school divisions to be merged into 15 geographic regions overseen by one provincial education authority. Locally elected school boards would be eliminated and school community councils made up of parents would be formed. The government has said the bill and a new education strategy are based on the findings of a recent K-12 education review it commissioned and are aimed at improving student outcomes.
