Excerpt: "The Yukon government has appointed a four-member Independent Panel to lead a comprehensive review of the Department of Education. The aim of the review is to support the long-term wellbeing of Yukoners by continuing to put learners at the centre of the education system. The review, a part of the government’s mandate, will look at how the department supports learners, families and educators across the Yukon’s three school authorities, as well as those accessing post-secondary and adult learning supports. By examining these core services, the panel will identify what is working well and where improvements can be made.
