Province allocates 4.2 million to boost high school completion
Alberta Education announces 4.2 million to raise graduation rates across the province under the Framework for Student Success. Each jurisdiction will receive 55 000 plus five dollars per Grade 10 to 12 student to fund personalized learning, transitions, partnerships, positive connections and progress tracking, with Horizon School Division noting modest but meaningful impact. The five-year completion rate stands at 79.5 percent with a goal of 82 percent by 2012, a target viewed as challenging by officials.
