Nova Scotia’s Minister of Education says it’s very positive that approximately 1400 people took part in the public meeting phase launched by the Commission on Inclusive Education.
They held sessions at three schools including Yarmouth High.
Zach Churchill says government recognizes there are gaps in the system and that all of the needs aren’t being met.
He expects some very good recommendations to be contained in the Commission’s final report on March 20th.
“Recommendations that will help us develop a blueprint to fix this education system for the long-run. There’s a lot of pressures being put on teachers, there are students that aren’t necessarily getting what they need from the system.”
Churchill says they know they can do better when it comes to an inclusive education policy.
Having said that, he says the system is providing great quality education for the vast majority of students including those with special needs but there are gaps that need to be filled.
Public engagement continues until December 15th with an online survey and options to submit feedback in writing or by
video.
