About Us:

Through safe and caring schools for all students, Alberta's government is making life better by investing in education - one of the most important investments we can make in our future.

The Ministry has the following responsibilities:

develop curriculum and set standards; evaluate curriculum and assess outcomes; teacher development and certification; support students with diverse learning needs; fund and support school boards; First Nations, Métis and Inuit and Francophone education; and oversees basic education policy and regulations.

Alberta Education, with technical input from Alberta Infrastructure, reviews submissions from school boards for new building and building renovation projects to assess, prioritize and submit capital funding requests to the Alberta Government's capital planning process.

In addition to developing the provincial school capital plan, Alberta Education develops policies and procedures for the effective planning and implementation of the school facilities capital program, the Infrastructure Maintenance and Renewal (IMR) program, and new initiatives/programs as approved by the Minister of Education such as the Capital Maintenance and Renewal (CMR) program, or playground initiatives.

The Capital Planning sector is an integral part of the Financial Services and Capital Planning division, working with school boards, Francophone authorities and Charter school societies to provide, preserve and upgrade supported capital infrastructure.

The branch provides liaison services with school boards, their partners and stakeholders to develop long-term integrated capital plans and projects, as well as liaising with the Field Services sector to ensure that capital project requests are in line with the educational plans of school boards and capital funding issues are addressed consistently between the two business areas.

Capital Planning sector representatives also must establish and maintain close relationships with Alberta Infrastructure representatives to ensure that approved capital projects are managed and implemented; the implementation of approved capital projects follows government policy; appropriate standards and guidelines are followed; existing facilities are appropriately and consistently evaluated over time; and effective policy and procedures are developed and maintained.
