Paul’s
Perspective
By Paul Klopp, MPP Huron
Now that spring is really here, it's
lime for Education and Training
Week when students from schools
throughout our community
demonstrate their talents to the
public. From May 2 to 5, you'll be
able to see displays, exhibits and
even live performances of students
learning a wide range of skills.
The theme of Education and
Training Week is, "With the Future
in Mind". I think that is a
particularly appropriate theme
because of its dual meaning.
First, it recognizes that students
are the future of this province.

Ministry of Education and
Training's commitment to prepare
students for life, work and lifelong
learning in a changing,
technological world.
Our government has put a great
deal of emphasis on improving
education in Ontario. Education
and Training Week is a way of
demonstrating accountability in our
education system. It gives teachers
and students an opportunity to
show what students are
learning...to show accountability to
those ratepayers who don’t have
children in the school system.
The Ministry is committed to
quality and accountability -
making sure that everyone involved
knows how the education system is
performing and taking the
necessary steps to make it work
better. The Common Curriculum
and provincial standards describe
what students should have learned
at various stages of their education.
An increased emphasis on testing
will make sure that this learning is
