Manitoba Education and Training's mission is to ensure high quality education and training programs for Manitobans to enable them to develop their individual potential and contribute to the economic, social, and cultural life of Manitoba.
Major changes are currently underway to renew Manitoba's educational system.
New curriculum documents are being developed which clearly identify outcomes, that is, the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn in a course or grade in a specific subject area. To determine whether student learning outcomes have been achieved, student assessment must be an integrated part of teaching and learning. Student learning is a continuous, systematic, and comprehensive process. Assessment of student learning involves careful planning and systematic implementation. Once assessment data are analyzed and interpreted, evaluation can then occur along with reporting of results.
