Edmonton School Board Reviews Policies to Ensure Access for All Students The EPSB has launched a policy review to ensure that children are not denied education due to their immigration status. The board is examining its registration procedures to identify barriers and promote compliance with international child rights standards. The Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) has taken a significant step towards ensuring educational access for all children, regardless of their immigration status. On Tuesday, the board approved a motion to review its enrolment and registration policies, aiming to identify and eliminate barriers that prevent children from attending school based on their residency status. This initiative responds to long-standing advocacy for the EPSB to align its practices with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which states that education is a fundamental right for every child. While the board has previously called on the provincial government for funding support for non-eligible students, this review focuses on improving local policies to better serve the diverse population of Edmonton.
