Episode Details

Alberta’s schools are implementing sweeping new policies this year to keep classrooms politically neutral, with teachers and students now bound by updated guidelines that restrict school boards from taking public stances on social issues. A new student code of conduct and mandatory impartiality for educators are set to take effect, while December will bring stricter teacher regulations requiring balanced presentations. Meanwhile, over 2,000 new teachers — including 566 in “complexity teams” pairing educators with assistants — are being hired to support Alberta’s 800,000+ students, though critics argue these changes don’t address root problems and may be too little, too late.
