Excerpt: "The Manitoba government has introduced legislation that would lower the age a child is required to attend school and remove barriers to students enrolling in schools in the area where they live, Education and Early Childhood Learning Minister Nello Altomare announced today. “We want to make sure every kid is set up for success and that means making sure they have access to education, particularly in the critical early years,” said Altomare. “We know when kids attend school regularly, they are more likely to succeed, go to college or university, and get a good job that will help them build a good life. That is why we want to make sure they are able to go to school wherever they are living.”"

Excerpt: "International Women’s Day gives us a moment of reflection on the status of women recognizing that achieving decent work conditions and gender equality in the workplace remain a challenge. The United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace declared on March 8th – this year’s theme is Invest in women: Accelerate progress. Early Learning and Child Care will see further progress if we invest more in the educators. On this International Women’s Day, we turn our lens to the working conditions of educators in early learning and child care recognizing that educators still earn less than the provincial average with extremely low rates of unionization. Progress is being made in the working conditions with the introduction of publicly funded pension plans in some early learning programs. The addition of over 80,000 new spaces under Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreements (CWELCC) has created $ 10.00 per day affordable spaces for families. With a central focus on affordability and expansion of access, CWELCC has largely ignored the growing workforce crisis. With cursory attention to the working conditions of educators in some jurisdictions, many increases in licensed spaces are not operational due staff shortages."
