Other Languages For Manitoba Public Schools Bill
Manitoba lawmakers consider a second reading AA bill to allow instruction in languages beyond French or English in public schools. Education Minister Ben Hanuschak says the amendments to the Public Schools Act enable Cree Saulteaux and foreign languages to be taught as a transitional aid for students moving to English or French. The bill also lets school trustees set pay rates and expands who may conduct religious teaching beyond Christian clergy to include rabbis and other leaders.
