Blog: Expanding Alberta’s Economy, Workforce and Global Advantage Through Student and Community Success

This report reviews the Alberta 2030 Economic Plan and the educational curriculums and systemic changes taking place in Alberta to progress the provincial agenda. The discussion follows a methodical and logical approach where connections and differences between the global labour market shifts and Alberta’s economic strategy are analyzed for purposes of reviewing the potential likeliness of anticipated economic success in Alberta with respect to legislation changes. The report later breaks down the educational systemic changes taking place in Alberta through comparison and connections to global educational frameworks and reviews the alignment of Alberta’s legislation changes to educational frameworks that have been encouraged to yield positive results in the economy and students’ lives, globally. Furthermore, the educational frameworks discussed situate students’ best interests at the heart of priorities and how Alberta’s changes affect long-term student success, quality of life, and aspirations.
