From January to May 2026, Alberta Education and Childcare will be conducting its annual telephone and online satisfaction surveys to gather feedback on perceptions of Alberta’s education system.

This survey is administered by Advanis Inc. on behalf of the ministry and is separate from both the upcoming Alberta Assurance Survey and the Pembina Hills School Division Satisfaction Survey.

A random sample of participants across the province may be contacted, including parents, members of the public, senior high school students, teachers, principals, school board trustees, and employers of recent high school graduates. More than 6,000 surveys will be completed to ensure results are statistically representative across 10 respondent groups.

Participants will be informed at the start of the call or online contact that the survey is being conducted on behalf of Alberta Education and Childcare. Survey responses are completely confidential, and no individual responses are reported. Surveys are also available in French for select respondent groups.

The survey helps the ministry understand satisfaction related to:

• The overall quality of Alberta’s education system
• How well the system meets student needs and supports society and the economy
• Safe, caring, and inclusive school environments
• Student preparation for lifelong learning, employment, and citizenship
• Collaboration with education partners
• Leadership and continuous improvement
• Preparation of recent high school graduates
• School facilities and equipment

Participation is important, as results help identify strengths and areas for improvement across the provincial education system. Some findings also inform ministry performance measures and will be included in Alberta Education and Childcare’s 2025–26 Annual Report.
