The province has named 20 members to its curriculum advisory panel that will help advise the Manitoba government on its kindergarten through 12th grade curriculum framework, the province announced Friday.

The panel is comprised of educators, parents and students along with school and system leaders representing a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and school districts, the province says.

Members are expected to meet virtually every month to provide feedback on the framework at central times during the development process, beginning with the framework’s structure, underlying principles, and stakeholder consultations this fall.
