Better Education Starts Today - Parent Virtual Meeting

 
Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Parents and caregivers have an important collective voice in the education system in Manitoba. The Parent Engagement Task Force, formed as part of the Better Education Starts Today (BEST) strategy, wants to hear from you on the important topic of parent engagement and what supports your school community requires to strengthen it.

Since the launch of the Better Education Starts Today (BEST) strategy, the Minister and the Department of Education have been speaking with stakeholders across the province about how we can ensure governance, accountability for results, quality learning and outcomes, future-ready students, and excellence in teaching and leadership throughout Manitoba’s education system.

The Parent Engagement Task Force was established to guide public input and provide advice to the government on how to move forward with parent engagement as a key component of the BEST strategy. As a parent and caregiver, the Parent Engagement Task Force wants to hear from you on the following:
 
  • What currently works in our community to get parents and caregivers engaged and keep them engaged?
  • What are the barriers to parents and caregivers being more engaged at our schools?
  • What supports will School Community Councils need to do their job?
 
Please register to join the task force for this online virtual meeting and share your views.
