| Abstract | This document presents findings of a commissioned survey that explored public attitudes toward a number of issues affecting K-12 education in Saskatchewan. Data were derived from telephone interviews with 708 individuals and focus-group interviews. Of the telephone sample, 54 percent had children attending school. Themes that emerged were classified as education today, governance, future directions, time in school, and the CORE curriculum. Thirty-eight percent of the respondents identified lack of funding as the biggest problem facing Saskatchewan schools, followed by discipline problems (21 percent) and student-teacher ratios (15 percent). Fifty-four percent believed that elementary-secondary expenditures were inadequate. Most parents expressed satisfaction with the educational environment of their children's schools and the quality of teaching. Overall, most respondents were satisfied with their school boards, leadership at their children's schools, and opportunities for input. The majority of respondents favored making schools available for community use and giving schools increased flexibility. Fifty-three percent of parents agreed with the changes made by the new CORE curriculum. Forty figures are included. Appendices contain the survey instrument, demographic information on respondents, and survey data. (LMI) |
