Notwithstanding discussions and concerns about recent provincial Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) test scores, or the importance of always looking for improvement, Manitoba has a high quality public school system that is the envy of most other jurisdictions around the world. Two touchstones of this system, we argue, are: (i) a vision of the purpose of schooling as fundamentally educational and inclusive; and (ii) a structure that values and nurtures professional expertise within a framework of public responsibility and accountability.
