About Us
The New Brunswick Teachers Association is asking teachers and voters in the Canadian province to take a survey ahead of the next provincial election in September, the CBC reports.
"We've seen a lot of things happen in education but is that how it has to look moving forward? I'm not sure," Peter Lagacy, the association's president, says.
"This gives the political parties a chance to tell us what they see the future education might be in New Brunswick."
The association wants politicians to address three main issues, Lagacy says: investing in the future of public education, developing creative solutions for retaining and recruiting teachers, and involving teachers in policy and decision-making.
The survey is available here.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
