Alberta’s business leaders need to step up and start demanding better results from the provincial education system. Michael Van Pelt, President and CEO of non-partisan think tank Cardus, made that call in an open letter to Alberta business leaders today.

“Business leaders need to be much more informed about the well-being of K–12 schooling in the province and advocate more strongly for educational choice, so that all school sectors produce the graduates with the basic skills and attributes of character that all businesses rely on—and that thriving economies require,” Van Pelt writes in the in open letter.
