Education Partnership Table


E-mail the Minister of EducationThe Education Partnership Table, established by Education Minister Gerard Kennedy, is a practical new forum designed to get broad and diverse insights from the education sector on provincial education policy early in the government's policy development process. Collaboration is needed to bring real, positive change to the education system and to achieve better results for students.

Participants have the opportunity to contribute to the common public interest in publicly funded education. In return, they agree to work toward consensus and, wherever possible, to raise issues first at the Table for all to examine and help solve collectively.

The first meeting was held on March 6, 2004 and included students, parents, trustees, teachers, support workers and principals.

Mini-papers are brought to the Table to facilitate discussions. Comments, suggestions or ideas about the following mini-papers are welcome.
