In one of the only sightings of her since Christmas, the education minister appeared today to deny that the NWT is considering dropping the Alberta curriculum they use due to UCP’s new update. She says it’s merely a totally normal review process the NWT does all the time. 1/5
And, of course, she blames NDP for this news coming out. NWT does review every 5 years. However, a news release from the NWT contradicts much of what else she said. 2/5

A few highlights from the linked article:
“A pair of education leaders in the Beaufort Delta say a political shift in what is taught in Alberta classrooms is behind a curriculum review underway at the GNWT” 3/5
“A pair of education leaders in the Beaufort Delta say a political shift in what is taught in Alberta classrooms is behind a curriculum review underway at the GNWT” 3/5
They are looking at B.C.’s curriculum instead because it’s modern, recently revamped, all online and “aligns much nicer with our inclusive schooling direction” 4/5
However, the “underlying logic behind making the change has been the direction the United Conservative Party government has taken the education system in Alberta.” 5/5
