万锦市两位现任华裔教育委员谭国成和杨余月英在本届市选中争取连任,参选的其他华裔候选人还有彭锦威、李济民和胡兆德。烈治文山市的现任教育委员陈焕玲争取连任。
谭国成表示,目前教育方面的主要议题有聘任教师的制度、学生精神健康和数学教学方法等。目前的教师聘任制度是根据教师的年资聘任,在这种制度下,学校请不到需要的高素质的教师和专才;学生精神健康方面需要政府投入更多资源;EQAO的数学成绩在过去6年不断下降,学校应该将目前的发现式数学教学法和基本的数学教学法相结合,比如让学生学九九乘法表,不依赖计算器。
彭锦威表示,加拿大学生学习成绩近年下降,他将力推具全球竞争力的优质教育。
李济民认为,要提高学生学习成绩,关键是有良好的家庭气氛。他倡导举办更多亲子讲座。
胡兆德则倡导发展多元化课程。
杨余月英说,她正和教育局共同努力改善校巴服务。
