"It certainly allows us as an education system to respond to what we see as the challenges but also to build on the successes."

'Get a pulse'

Currie saidthe surveywill focus on subject matter and the overall school experience for students, parents and teachers.

He also said that the results are an important factor in ensuring the government, and school boards don't assume what problems or challenges are being faced.
