The government of Alberta wants to update its junior high school curriculum to better prepare students for the workforce.

The province said it is starting the engagement process with education partners and teachers for a draft curriculum for Grades 7 to 9. The subjects slated for changes include math, social studies, physical education and wellness, and the Career and Life Management program, according to a Nov. 14 news release.
