Yesterday, the Alberta Teachers' Association responded to the UCP's sudden alterations to high school graduation requirements:
“English language arts and social studies at the Grade 12 level are an integral part of Alberta’s high school graduation requirements. Together, these subjects help students communicate effectively, evaluate information and understand different perspectives, preparing them not only for further education and employment but also to participate as informed citizens.
Removing these requirements risks leaving students less prepared for the opportunities and responsibilities ahead of them. Flexibility in course choices should expand students’ futures, not weaken the foundation they need in order to succeed."
Exactly.
