Alberta Premier Proposes Education Commission Amid Ongoing Teachers’ Strike

 

Striking Alberta teachers and supporters wave signs outside Rogers Place in Edmonton, on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025. 


As thousands of striking teachers rallied outside, Premier Danielle Smith announced her intention to establish a new education commission once the provincewide strike concludes.

Smith emphasized the need for “new models” to address persistent challenges in Alberta’s classrooms, particularly issues of complexity and specialized learning needs. Speaking at an Edmonton Chamber of Commerce event, she said the commission would include teachers and focus on solutions for classroom supports, student diversity, and resource allocation.

The strike, which began October 6, has seen more than 51,000 teachers walk off the job. Key sticking points in negotiations with the Alberta Teachers’ Association include wages, classroom sizes, and additional supports. Smith reiterated her government’s desire for a negotiated settlement but stressed that long-term reforms are necessary to prevent similar disputes in the future.
