We have been overwhelmed with concerns from students, parents, teachers, subject matter experts and more about the curriculum put forward by Jason Kenney.

We’ve heard from Albertans that the curriculum being proposed will not prepare students for advanced education, for their careers and for their lives in general.
Premier Kenney's curriculum jeopardizes our economy by not providing children with the essential critical-thinking skills they need to succeed in a modern workplace and by implementing outdated educational practices that discourage more parents from choosing Alberta.
The UCP's curriculum was built in secret, and edited by hand-picked political advisors, including one with systemically discriminatory views.
You cannot – and should not — build curriculum without broad buy-in from Albertans. This isn’t about Jason Kenney and his ideology, this is about Alberta’s education and the learning and skills we pass on to our future leaders.
Contrary to repeated claims that the NDP curriculum rewrite was politicized, the truth is it was developed in concert with tens of thousands of educators, subject-matter experts and parents.
Alberta’s NDP has been fielding specific complaints about the proposed curriculum at KidsDeserveBetter.ca.
Since Thursday, thousands of submissions have been received and many more have come through emails, phone calls and social media messages.
Assuming the provincial election is held in Spring 2023 and if we are successful in being elected, the goal would be to have new drafts of the Kindergarten to Grade 4 curriculum in classrooms by fall 2024.
Drafts for later grades would follow in subsequent years and all Albertans would have the ability to provide input on the curriculum drafts.
