The province’s Education Opposition Critic is accusing the Minister of Education of glossing over the fact hundreds of teacher’s assistants, intervention workers and librarians won’t be getting their jobs back. Minister Roland Haché was quoted last week as saying the provincial government has fulfilled its commitment to restore 2.9 million dollars to school districts— allowing them to reinstate intervention programs and services to school libraries.
Opposition critic, Claude Landry says that statement is misleading. Landry says the minister makes it seem as though all laid-off intervention workers and school librarians will be reinstated when that’s not the case. The jobs were lost during the spring budget cuts to the Department of Education.
