BCTF says provincial memo misses the point

A message from the province’s Education Minister earlier this week has the BC Teachers’ Federation scratching their head.

President Susan Lambert says the message, applauding BC’s schools for ranking high in an international reading study, missed the point.

She says teachers are working very hard with the funding they have.
 
“It seems to me that government is not assuming its responsibility and offloading that onto teachers increasingly, at the same time diminishing the capacity of the system by eroding funding support.”

 The message also introduced BC’s new superintendent of reading.
