Teachers and others in education denounced the plan.
The proposals covered everything from student assessments to the curriculum, but a proposal to eliminate all elected English-language school boards and install a provincial education authority generated far and away the most public concern. The report was based on focus group sessions Probe held on the province's behalf about changes proposed under former premier Brian Pallister a year ago. "Although changes the provincial government has made to health care, and its overall performance during the pandemic, negatively coloured their views of education reform, some participants have some degree of confidence in the government to make changes that will be beneficial for students, educators and Manitobans." "When participants were asked to express how assured they are that the provincial government (will) implement beneficial changes to education, their degree of confidence was relatively low - but not rock bottom," says the report, completed last August and recently released on the government's proactive disclosure website. said people's views were negatively affected by the government's earlier changes in health care.
