Description

Over the past three years, government has engaged Albertans in wide-ranging conversations about the future of education in Alberta. Three major initiatives included: Inspiring Education: A Dialogue with Albertans; Setting the Direction for Special Education in Alberta, and; Speak Out: The Alberta Student Engagement Initiative.
