School curriculum platforms

Here's what the 2024 BC election parties are promising.
We don't have any BC NDP policies on School curriculum.

BC Conservatives

  • Conduct an immediate inquiry into the BC Teachers' Federation regarding teaching materials on the Israel-Palestine conflict

    "Conduct an immediate inquiry into the BC Teachers’ Federation’s role in pushing biased materials that promote one-sided views on the Israel-Palestine conflict. A directive will be issued from the Ministry of Education to cease the use of the current Israel-Palestine teachers guide. There is no place for political indoctrination in our classrooms, and the safety and dignity of Jewish students must be protected at all times." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
