The New Brunswick government recently released its Anglophone Sector Education Plan, calling it a ‘shared vision for the next 12 years of education that sets a clear direction for learning across our province.’ (CBC)
Vincent Geiger wasn’t especially surprised to learn his work had been misattributed in New Brunswick’s 12-year education plan for the anglophone schools sector.
The professor of mathematics education at Australian Catholic University said it has happened before.
But in this case, he finds the way the plan references some academic work “pretty shoddy” for a government document.
Geiger’s research in the field of numeracy is cited twice in the education plan, which is meant to lay the foundation of the province’s public education system from now to 2038.
