ALBERTA MAY DISCONTINUE PROVINCE-WIDE TESTING
Thomas Lukaszuk, Alberta’s Deputy Premier, has called The Fraser Institutes school performance reports a misuse of provincial test results. He claims they mislead you and he wants to redesign the tests so they can no longer produce the reports.
Fraser Institues school performance reports are valid and used by many thousands of thoughtful parents each year. We believe that you, Alberta’s parents, should have the right to decide how to use them.
If you agree that the Alberta government should keep the provincial tests and leave these reports alone, send The Fraser Institue an e-mail. They’ll keep you up-to-date on this situation as well as on all other news about their school performance reports.
