  • Reforming Education: from Origins to Outcomes
    Reforming Education Ambitious programs of education reform have been introduced by many governments around the world. Reforming Education is an important study of large-scale education reform in five different settings: England, New Zealand, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Manitoba and the US state of Minnesota. The book looks at a variety of reforms, covering: • school choice; • charter schools; • increased testing of students; • stricter curriculum guidelines; • local school management. Drawing from theoretical and empirical work in education, political theory, organizational theory and public administration, Reforming Education provides a clearly developed conceptual framework for analyzing reform programs. The author reviews the political origins of the reforms, the process of adop- tion into law, the implementation processes used to support the reforms, and the results of the reforms for students, schools and communities. The explicit political and comparative orientation of Reforming Education enables readers to look at reforms across different settings and to make judgements about the assumptions, processes and outcomes in large-scale reforms. It will be of interest to those working in education policy or public policy. Benjamin Levin is Deputy Minister of Education and Training for the Province of Manitoba. He is also a Professor of Educational Administration at the University of Manitoba. His research interests are in education policy, politics and economics.

  • Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Party
    Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative Party: A “Great Renewal” or Continued Disarray? Paper presented to the Roblin Professorship Conference - Manitoba Politics, Government and Policy into the 21st Century November 2008 Draft Working Paper – Please do no cite without permission from the author Kelly L. Saunders, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Brandon University Brandon, MB [email protected] I. Introduction At the annual general meeting of the Manitoba Progressive Conservative Party held last spring, leader Hugh McFadyen acknowledged that while it had had some disappointing setbacks, the Party was nonetheless on the verge of a “great renewal”. In light of the Party’s diminishing fortunes over the past decade, and most recently in the May 2007 election when it suffered its worst electoral showing since 1953, McFadyen’s attempts to instill hope in his Party’s faithful is understandable. Whether the Party is simply experiencing the ebb and flow natural to all political organizations, or is suffering from a deeper, more serious malaise, however, remains disputable. What is clear is that the Conservatives, as they enter the 21st century, are at a turning point in their history. The extent to which it is able to overcome its current woes, and be viewed as a credible and realistic alternative to the governing New Democrats by a wider proportion of Manitobans, is the fundamental question before the Party today. It is also the focus of this paper. In addressing the varied challenges confronting the P.C. Party as it enters the new millennium, the paper will draw on interviews with party insiders as well as a variety of primary and secondary documents1.

  • Manitoba's Post-Secondary System Since 1967
    Manitoba’s Post-Secondary System Since 1967 / D. Smith 48 CSSHE SCÉES Canadian Journal of Higher Education Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur Volume 41, No. 1, 2011, pages 48 – 60 Manitoba’s Post-Secondary System Since 1967: Stability, Change and Consistency Dan Smith Manitoba’s Council on Post-Secondary Education ABSTRACT This study examines the transformation of Manitoba’s post-secondary education system be- tween 1967 and 2009 using legislative change to gauge structural change. The paper estab- lishes the beginning of the contemporary post-secondary system with the 1967 decision of the Manitoba government to abandon the “one university” system model, a move akin to a “big bang,” redefining system norms and expectations, and setting direction which continues to be relevant today. The study revealed extensive structural change in Manitoba’s post-sec- ondary system after 1997, the nature of which reflected the trends associated with global- ization, but also reflecting the important influence that local forces have had in shaping the province’s post-secondary system. RÉSUMÉ Cette étude examine la transformation du système d’éducation post-secondaire manitobain entre 1967 et 2009, qui s’est faite par le biais de changements législatifs afin d’évaluer le changement structurel. Selon l’article, le système post-secondaire contemporain débute avec une décision prise en 1967 par le gouvernement du Manitoba, qui visait à abandonner le modèle systémique d’« une seule université »›. Semblable à un « big bang », cette décision redéfinissait les normes et les attentes du système d’éducation, en lui donnant une direction qui est encore pertinente à ce jour.
