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.

The upcoming series of meetings are government's opportunity to check in with the public to make certain we are on track to getting the future right for our children.
