The province wants to hear from the public to strengthen local voices in the school system.
There will be an online survey and a platform called ThoughtExchange.
Where school community members including students, staff, families and the public can make input on education policy and decision making.
“Our government is listening to Nova Scotians and developing solutions to improve student achievement and well-being,” said Becky Druhan, Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development. “As part of my mandate, I am committed to enhancing the local voice of families, students and staff, and seeking out ways to improve our public education system.”
There will also be focus groups with partners and written feedback is also welcome.
There are about 129,000 students in pre-primary to Grade 12 and 10,000 staff in Nova Scotia’s public education system.
Any ideas will be collected until December 23 but there will be more feedback opportunities in the coming months.
