Excerpt: "The Manitoba government is increasing its investment in schools by $79.8 million for the 2026-27 school year, Education and Early Childhood Minister Tracy Schmidt announced today. “Our government is committed to making sure every Manitoba family can count on strong, stable public schools, year after year. We are meeting the needs of students and communities by building new schools and feeding kids with our universal school food program,” said Schmidt. “This is good news for teachers, school divisions and families while building a brighter future for Manitoba’s students.” The Manitoba government is allocating $11.4 million in public school funding to support divisions most affected by teacher salary harmonization. Salary harmonization will be implemented in the 2026-27 school year. Salary harmonization standardizes teacher pay scales across school divisions to help minimize disparities."

Professor Ann Lopez joined a panel at the 39th International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement to debate innovation and educational leadership.

Excerpt: "The provincial government signed a new five-year deal in November to keep the $10-a-day program going. Many provinces signed agreements months earlier, but Saskatchewan’s Education Minister said the province was holding out to get a better deal. The new deal includes a base funding increase to help with inflationary costs and an expansion to the age limit so kids who turn six can stay in the program until they start school. Werner said the delay may have contributed to a lack of new spaces opening in the last while, because providers wouldn’t want to go through all the work of planning and funding if the program was going away. “All of that gets put on hold – we don’t want to go into a bunch of debt and then not know if the funding is even going to be in place,” she explained."
