Advisors seek feedback on Sask. education system
The Government of Saskatchewan has appointed two people to lead a province-wide consultation process aimed at improving the education system.
Russ Mirasty, former RCMP assistant commissioner, and Patricia Prowse, superintendent with Saskatoon Public Schools, will travel the province to get feedback from students, teachers, parents and others in the education sector.
Only seven out of every 10 Saskatchewan students will graduate from high school, according to Education Minister Don Morgan. That's among the lowest rates in Canada. The government would like to see that significantly increase by 2020.
“It’s almost reversed with First Nations students,” he said.
