CMEC convenes to discuss AI, PSE, skills development

The Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) recently convened for its annual meeting, where the provincial and territorial ministers discussed a variety of issues related to K-12 and postsecondary education. These topics included the quickly changing role of AI and digital technologies in education and the need for ethical and inclusive policies; the system-wide opportunities and challenges facing postsecondary education; and innovative approaches to aligning skills development with labour-market demands. “In the current context, it’s more important than ever to continue to work together to better respond to common workforce and innovation challenges,” said Government of Québec Minister of Education Pascale Déry, who is the incoming chair of CMEC.
