Description
Educational reform was the subject of one session at the 1996 Regional Conference of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Winnipeg. The lead speaker was David Newman, MLA of Manitoba. Delegates from several other jurisdictions also participated in the discussion. The following extracts are based upon the proceedings prepared by Manitoba Hansard. The complete transcript is availabe from the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. David Newman (Manitoba): Talk about restructuring education often places an undue emphasis on cost. I am going to focus on some other issues. There are no longer geographic, jurisdictional, or subject matter barriers which can justify thinking narrowly about educational matters. Co-operation, collaboration and technology are overcoming barriers and improving the quality of education for the benefit of students. For example organizational boundaries are being blurred. It is difficult now to isolate the Department of Education from departments like Family Services, Health, Culture, Heritage and Citizenship, even departments like Urban Affairs and Public Housing or Justice. This is being recognized by certain integrated organizational changes. In Manitoba we have the Child and Youth Secretariat, which incorporates five of those six ministries I referred to in a supportive way and seems to be a means of bridging these boundaries.
