Yellowknife, 11 May 2010— The Department of Education, Culture and Employment needs to improve its planning, monitoring, and reporting for some aspects of the Northwest Territories’ education system, says Sheila Fraser, the Auditor General of Canada, in an audit report issued to the Legislative Assembly today. “Education is an investment that is vital to the development of the Northwest Territories,” said Ms. Fraser. “Educated citizens are better able to meet the demands of a modern economy and to become productive, participating members of society.”
Education in the Northwest Territories-Department of Education, Culture and Employment
There is a technology war coming. Actually it is already here but most of us haven't yet notice. It is a war not about technology but because of technology, a war over how we as a culture embrace technology. It is a war that threatens venerable institutions and, to a certain extent, threatens what many people think of as their very way of life. It is a war that will ultimately and inevitably change us all, no going back. The early battles are being fought in our schools.

Kids in B.C. can now take almost every course required in K to 12 online , from math and science to social studies and art, even physical education, thanks to the Ministry of Education's Distributive Learning initiative. But public education advocates say pushing online learning for everyone could erode the universal access and quality of education in this province. Helesia Luke is one such advocate.
