95.7PU Basic National Curriculum
Whereas, Education in Canada comes under Provincial jurisdiction; and,
Whereas, The Council of Ministers of Education of Canada is the forum where Canadian education issues are discussed and action decided upon; and,
Whereas, The National Council of Women in a 1980 Resolution urged the Council of Ministers of Education of Canada to standardize the education core curriculum at primary and secondary levels of education; therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the National Council of Women of Canada urge:
- The Council of Ministers of Education to develop national standards for education regarding:
i) the teaching of skill functions at similar grade levels across Canada, to facilitate mobility of children across the country;
ii) the quality of education, ensuring that it meets the needs of all students in the classroom, regardless of gender, ability levels, ethnic origin or socio-economic status. - Provincial Councils of Women to approach their respective Ministers of Education to support this policy.
