This year marks an exciting chapter for Saskatchewan's youth as the Ministry of Education unveils the 2025-26 Youth Council! Comprising 12 talented high school students from various school divisions, these young leaders are stepping up to share their ideas and insights to enhance education across the province.

Education Minister Everett Hindley is thrilled to welcome this fantastic group, stating, “Their perspectives are essential in helping shape a more responsive and positive education system for all Saskatchewan students.”

The council members, ranging from Grades 10 to 12, are set to engage in important conversations with the Ministry regarding policies, curriculum, and programs. With their valuable contributions, they will ensure that the education system reflects the voices of students everywhere!
