Community members play a key role in the Ministry of Education. Ensuring that the education system has a meaningful and lasting impact requires the contributions of many community members including students, families, communities, teachers, administrators, school community councils, boards of education, public library staff and boards, and people involved in early learning and child care. Programs and services offered by the Education sector provide opportunities for our children, youth and adult citizens to fulfill their learning potential and contribute to strong and stable Saskatchewan communities.
