Manitoba sets second language credit for non taught languages
Manitoba education plans a new policy granting grade 12 students a course credit for proficiency in any second language even if not taught in schools. Credits require a proficiency test and apply to all languages including Indian languages.

It claims the green paper avoids price controls, neglects nuclear solar and wind power, and would let world demand push Canadian prices higher, despite a $21 000 Opportunities for Youth grant backing its stance.
