Funding for new teachers a step in the right direction: Kamloops educators
KAMLOOPS — Education Minister Mike Bernier’s $50 million funding announcement for the immediate hire of 1,100 teachers across the province is being considered a good first step to resolving class size and composition issues.
The announcement comes at the conclusion of years of conflict between the B.C. Teacher’s Federation and the Province.
Thanks to the extra funding, the Kamloops/Thompson School District will be increasing its staffing numbers.
