Is Alberta’s education system on the brink?
Carlin Lutzer sits down with David Tait, president of the Alberta Teachers’ Association Foothills Local 16, to break down the simmering crisis in Alberta’s schools.
With teacher contracts still unresolved and potential job action looming, they dig into why educators are speaking out—not just for pay, but for classroom conditions, student safety, and sustainable teaching environments.
From overcrowded classrooms and rising student aggression to underfunded schools and a curriculum lacking resources, David reveals the deep-rooted challenges that are pushing passionate educators to the brink.
This candid conversation unpacks what’s really at stake for students, families, and the future of Alberta’s public education.
