Educator Hopes Provincial Decision Is Thought Out
The head of the Lakehead Public School Board is reacting to provincial plans to cut down on the oversupply of teachers. The moves include cutting the number of students accepted into teacher's colleges and doubling the length of time it takes teachers to get a degree from one year to two years . Director of Education, Cathi Siemieniuk, believes it's a good move if it ensures students can pick a career that will give them employment. Siemieniuk says she trusts that the decision has been well thought out.
