The province is asking parents, teachers, students and the public for input on how to improve New Brunswick’s education system.
A new “green paper” report was released Thursday, and contains plans and policies that will “transform” the system.
The green paper aims to support teachers, engage and challenge students, including creating better communication policies, and partnering with universities and industries to provide more opportunities to students post-graduation.
The province also hopes to expand the I.B. program and introduce more language classes. The report also says it will ensure that all students have a minimum conversational understanding of French by the time they graduate.
Changes will be introduced as early as the 2020-21 school year and will continue through to 2030.
New Brunswickers can submit their feedback online. A summit on the paper will also be held later this month.
