This story is part of a CBC News series examining the stresses the pandemic has placed on educators and the school system. Two-thirds of Manitoba education workers strongly believe the province has not made education a priority in pandemic planning, according to a recent questionnaire filled out by more than 1,000 education workers in the province. In Manitoba, 833 classroom teachers, 125 teaching support staff and 63 administrators — including principals and vice-principals — responded between April 26-28. School staff left hundreds of written comments criticizing the provincial government's handling of K-12 education during the pandemic.
