The Alberta Ministry of Education wants your feedback through another curriculum survey.

The survey which launched on May 15, is a chance to gather feedback on how the curriculum in Alberta schools should look over the next few years.

We know that Albertans want to provide meaningful input into how our schools can best prepare students for success," said Minister of Education David Eggen, "In addition to the curriculum survey, we have set up face-to-face sessions in each region of the province and have also developed a series of resources that can be used by schools or community groups to host their own sessions that support completing the survey.”

The Calgary Catholic School Division (CSSD) which oversees Airdrie's St. Martin De Porres, Good Shepherd and Our Lady Queen of Peace, said the curriculum will eventually need to change.

"It's in need of a redesign, in need of a refresh and an update," said Tania Van Brunt with the CSSD, "They want to create some common themes and ideas that will weave between all the various subjects."

The division is working alongside the government to make sure that those who support their schools have the chance to complete the survey.

"We're assisting with getting these surveys out, working on getting the feedback from our stakeholders including our parent groups."

The survey is available online until June 2.
