About Speak Out

Speak Out is an opportunity for Alberta’s youth to share their experiences and ideas and to help the people who make decisions about our schools understand the issues that are important to us.

Check out the Blog and Discuss Tabs. Register so you can post your ideas and "Speak Out"! Parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, school board trustees, university and government officials, including the Minster of Education - they're all listening!
