We applaud Manitoba Liberal leader, Dr. Jon Gerrard, for bringing math education issues to the forefront during question period in the Manitoba legislative session yesterday. We note that, in our opinion, education is a non-partisan issue and people of all political stripes need to work together to improve math education for children in the province of Manitoba (and in Canada, as a whole).

(One small correction to Dr. Gerrard’s comments: Anna Stokke did not specifically say that the NDP has created a never ending cycle of innumeracy in Manitoba. A number of factors have contributed to the current state of affairs in the province.)
