Gordon Campbell to Harmonize Elementary Schools with High Schools.
The BC Liberals today announced plans to merge schools across the province, citing administrative savings. The move is expected to save 7 billion dollars over the next four years.
"With the internet, Grade 6 students already know as much as Grade 10 students did a decade ago," declared Premier Campbell. "This innovative move to recognize cloud educating will not only reward taxpayers, but will recognize that not every student is really smarter than a 5th grader."
