Education, Citizenship and Youth (MECY) and Manitoba Advanced Education and Training (MAET). The document was created to support MCHP’s data analytical operation by providing contextual information related to education and training developments across Manitoba since 1989. The document is divided into two sections. The first is a chronological listing of key policy developments and activities related to K-S4 education, post-secondary education, and training, and the second is a descriptive summary of major education/training government reform initiatives that have shaped policy over the years. Over the time-span examined (ie, 1989 to June 30, 2006), a great deal of public consultation occurred which contributed to policy developments in elementary-secondary education, post-secondary education, and the training systems. Indeed, very little policy development and legislative amendments were made without first consulting stakeholders and the general public. The major initiatives that shaped the elementary-secondary education sector included Answering the Challenge (1990), New Directions (1994), and the K-S4 Agenda (2002); while for post-secondary education it was college governance (1991), creation of the Council on Post-Secondary Education (1997), and the College Expansion Initiative (2000); and for training the transfer of EI-funded responsibilities from the federal government to the provincial government (1997). Between 1989 and present, there have been relatively few disruptions to the education and training systems in Manitoba. Disruptions that did transpire, however, tended to occur primarily in local communities over specific issues (eg, saving Cartwright School in 1992, funding adult learners in Morris- MacDonald School Division in 2001, and striking support staff in River East and Transcona/Springfield school divisions in 2000 and Turtle River School Division in 2005). At a province-wide level, protracted tension was created between teachers and government when New Directions was introduced in 1994 and collective bargaining legislation in 1996, but this tension did not create disruptions for students in classrooms. The most recent province-wide struggle occurred in 2002 with school division amalgamation, a process that was difficult in some communities. The content within the following document is not meant to be fully inclusive of all policies and activities, but rather an attempt to highlight the large variety of developments that have occurred across Manitoba’s education and training systems. The chronological dating within respective years is often an estimate as many initiatives do not have exact start or stop dates. Any errors or omissions are the responsibility of the author. Primary, but not inclusive, sources of information include: Departmental Annual Reports (1989-90 to 2004-05), COPSE Annual Reports (1997-98 to 2004-05), Education Manitoba magazine (Sept 1989 to June 1994; October 2002 to May 2006); Education Update newsletter (1997-98 to 2000-01); Government news releases (1995 to 2006); Winnipeg Free Press (1989 to 2006); Winnipeg Sun (1989 to 2006), Departmental Enrolment Reports (1989 to 2005); CMEC, FLMM, CCL websites; MTS’s Manitoba Teacher (1989 to 2006); Government of Manitoba web-site; many community and university newspapers (1999 to 2006), and a large number of Manitoba Government publicly released documents. iii SECTION 1 Chronological List of Activities 1 Section 1 – Chronological List of Activities Prior 1989 1956 – The Public Schools Act was amended to disallow teachers’ right to strike, and division boards’ right to lock out. 1967 – Council of Ministers of Education Canada (CMEC) was created to provide ministers of education and their advisors with a forum in which to share ideas and work together on projects of common importance. 1970 – Bill 113 confirmed the equality of French and English (the two official languages) as languages of instruction in Manitoba. Bill 113, being an amendment of Section 258 of the Manitoba Public Schools Act, allowed 100% teaching of French (Kindergarten to Grade 3) and 75% of French (Grade 4 to Grade 12). 1970 – New Careers Program was introduced as a provincially accredited adult PSE and training program to provide direct job entry education and training programs for individual who encounter persistent barriers to meaningful

  • Overview Manitoba's Post-Secondary System
    POST-SECONDAY PATHWAYS IN MANITOBA Pathways to Education and Work Centre for the Study of Canadian and International Higher Education Qualifications: The Link Between Educational and Occupational Pathways and Labour Market Outcomes is a project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The four-year project investigates the nature of pathways within postsecondary education, and between postsecondary education and the labour market. As part of this project, the Provincial Pathways profile series lays the groundwork for further inquiry contrasting and comparing educational and occupational pathways in Canadian provinces and territories. Manitoba: Overview The degree of coordination of postsecondary education in Manitoba has fluctuated over the course of its history. An initial system of a single university governing a constellation of denominational colleges (Gregson, 1996) has evolved into a system of autonomous institutions, linked through an array of coordinating endeavors. The province’s present post-secondary system supports both English and French language learners. Manitoba’s large and expanding Indigenous populations are an impetus for innovation as traditionally structured institutions partner with Indigenous communities and educators to develop programs and institutional structures that provide “culturally sensitive” and place based education in the province’s North. (University College of the North, 2005). Manitoba’s Post-Secondary System Manitoba’s post-secondary education system is governed by the Advanced Learning Division of the province’s Education and Training Department. The system is comprised of Four universities Four public colleges and institutes Private, degree-granting religious institutes Private vocational training schools The system began with one university and an affiliated college system (Gregor, 1997).1 The Universities Establishment Act (1967) converted two of these colleges into universities in their own right: Brandon University (Brandon College) and the University of Winnipeg (United College).

  • Mothballing Manitoba's Council on Post-Secondary Education
    Canadian Journal of Educational Administration and Policy, Issue #170, August 13, 2015. © by CJEAP and the author(s). GOVERNANCE IN TRANSITION: MOTHBALLING MANITOBA’S COUNCIL ON POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION Dan Smith, University College of the North Examining the Government of Manitoba decision in 2014 to eliminate the Council on Post-Secondary Education, this article argues that government sought to exercise greater control over the public post-secondary system and its institutions in the province for the purpose of exacting greater control over system integration. While the elimination of the agency was consistent with the elimination of similar agencies in other provinces, the article finds that the direction of the new post-secondary governance model is less collegial and less consultative with more emphasis on regulation, and ministerial influence than was the case with the previous intermediary model, continuing trends in Manitoba towards greater government control. Introduction On June 17, 2014, the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba passed amendments to the Advanced Education Administration Act (AEAA), fundamentally altering the governance structure for the system of colleges and universities in Manitoba. In brief, the new act eliminated the Council on Post-Secondary Education (COPSE), ending the 47-year use of intermediary agencies as the model for governing post-secondary education in the province, turning that governance over to the minister responsible for colleges and universities. Undertaken with little notice (Martin, 2014) prior to being announced in the provincial budget, the passage of new legislation followed a brief but acrimonious public debate about the appropriate role of the government in the management of post-secondary education (Manitoba Legislative Assembly, Governance in Transition 2014; Winnipeg Free Press, 2014).
