About Friends of Education
At Friends of Education, we champion the cause of K-16 education. Our mission is to empower parents, students, and the community to advocate for policies and approaches that will build a stronger education system that better meets the needs of Alberta students. We achieve this by translating complex research into actionable insights and launching targeted advocacy campaigns on critical education issues.
Working together to make the education system in Alberta more
Because it needs immediate action to ensure that there are ample post-secondary seats for Alberta students by fall 2026, we chose post-secondary access for our first advocacy campaign. But this is just the first step. In the months and years to come, we will be working to transform K-16 education in Alberta by working on a variety of topics.
