The province has named 20 members to its curriculum advisory panel that will help advise the Manitoba government on its kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum framework, the province announced Friday.
The panel comprises educators, parents and students along with school and system leaders who represent a range of expertise, perspectives and school districts, the province says.
Members are expected to meet virtually every month to give feedback on the framework at central moments during the development process, beginning with the framework’s structure, underlying principles and stakeholder consultations this fall.

“Developing a new framework is a considerable task, and the most recent framework dates back to 1995, so it is time for a thorough examination of what exists, what is needed and what is best for our students,” Education Minister Cliff Cullen said in a news release Friday.
