Provide Your Input Now

There are several options for you to help shape the new Education Act:

• Elementary students can mail a letter or drawing to the minister (423 Legislature Building, Edmonton, T5K 2B6) about the changes they would make if they were the education minister for a day. 
• Participate in discussion boards about making schools safe and welcoming, making learning relevant, keeping students engaged in learning, and building the skills for future success.
• Tweet using the #abed hashtag
• Comment at www.facebook.com/AlbertaEducation
• Email engage.education@gov.ab.ca
• Send letters or written submissions to the minister

Why Your Input is Important

“This legislation is the foundation of our education system, so it is important we get it right,” said Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk.  “Hearing the views of students, parents, grandparents, teachers, education and community leaders, and others will help us ensure new legislation reflects Albertans’ vision for their education system and impacts classrooms now and in the future.”
