Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith I pledge myself as premier to lead the cabinet just sworn in to ensure a stronger, safer, more prosperous province Albertans deserve today … and that we want our children and grandchildren to inherit tomorrow. And may our province forever remain strong and free.

On the appointment of a new education minister

Demetrios Nicolaides @demetriosnAB Truly honoured to be appointed as Alberta’s minister of education. I look forward to working with teachers, staff, parents and administrators to strengthen our education system.

Stephen Merredew @smerredew @demetriosnAB Your first order of business should be to arrange a series of regularly scheduled meetings with @albertateachers president Jason Schilling and our Provincial Executive Council. Would certainly set a more positive and collaborative tone than your predecessor.

Ms O Tweets A Little @MsOTweets77 Well. At least this was a change. I’m willing to give a new minister a shot. But my expectations are high @demetriosnAB.

ASBA @ABSchoolBoards ASBA extends congratulations to the Honourable Demetrios Nicolaides @demetriosnAB on being appointed as minister of education. We look forward to collaboration in support of Alberta’s locally elected school boards and the students they serve.

Marty McKeever @HotKeever Well at least we do not have a vote of nonconfidence on him … yet! His track record with post-secondary isn’t great but I agree, if @ABDanielleSmith says she wants the @Alberta_UCP under her direction to be judged for their actions, let’s give him a chance before judging.

Alberta School Councils’ Association (ASCA) @ABschoolcouncil Congratulations @demetriosnAB! Welcome to #abed. Parents, families and school councils understand that partnerships are key to supporting students, and ASCA looks forward to collaborating with you.

Blaine Badiuk @BlaineBadiuk With new minister of education @demetriosnAB, we have an opportunity to chart a new path if the @Alberta_UCP and @ABDanielleSmith are bold enough. Let’s start by listening to teachers, rethinking the curriculum and actually funding @AlbertaEd!
