THE CONTAINMENT OF EDUCATIONAL CONFLICT
Abstract
The dissolution of the Vancouver School Board in May 1985 by the Minister of Education for British Columbia was one government's effort to maintain its traditional control over education. For those who are interested in the relations between the levels of government responsible for education, the question remains whether the dissolution of the Vancouver School Board and the appointment of an official trustee to administer the districts were predictable and necessary consequences of the conflict betweeen provincial and local educational authorities. RÉSUMÉ La dissolution de la commission scolaire de Vancouver par le ministre de l'Education de Colombie-Britannique en mai 1985 est l'une des tentatives amorcées par le gouvernement pour garder la maîtrise de l'éducation. Pour ceux qui s'intéressent aux rapports entre les divers paliers de gouvernement responsables de l'éducation, reste à savoir si la dissolution de la commission scolaire de Vancouver et la nomination d'un personnage officiel chargé d'administrer les districts sont deux des conséquences prévisibles et nécessaires du conflit qui oppose les instances éducatives provinciales et locales. [Même si deux commissions, celles de Vancouver et de Cowichan, ont été dissoutes, le présent article porte sur la dissolution de la commission de Vancouver et sur les arguments invoqués à son appui que l'on trouve dans Weinstein et al. v. The Minister of Education of British Columbia and Allan Guy Stables (1985)].Downloads
