On January 23, 2019, the Manitoba government announced the appointment of a nine-member Commission to undertake a comprehensive review of the province’s K-12 education system. The mandate of the Manitoba Commission on Kindergarten to Grade 12 Education is to “carry out an independent review of the province’s K to 12 education system. Its goal will be improving outcomes for students, ensuring long-term sustainability and enhancing public confidence in our education system." Specifically, the Commission will:

• propose a renewed vision for K to 12 education;
• make recommendations that inspire excellence in teaching and learning, and ignite positive, progressive change in existing systems, structures and programs; and
• look at the K to 12 system as a continuum that takes an integrated, lifelong approach to learning, with strong links between early learning, post-secondary education and labour market success.

Visit the Commission's website for additional information.

The association participated in the consultation process held throughout the province. On behalf of MSBA, the provincial executive submitted its brief to the Commission.
