Written Question 70-15(3): Teacher Education Program Graduates

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My written question is for the Premier of the Northwest Territories.

How many northern Teacher Education Program students have completed education programs since the Premier’s office made the commitment to hire all students who have successfully completed the Teacher Education Program?

Of the graduates, how many are currently employed as teachers in the North?

Further, will the Premier please explain, in detail, what the incentives are that he referred to in the Unedited Hansard, pages 2604 to 2605, on February 10, 2005, to encourage education authorities to hire northern graduates?

What does the Premier mean when he commented on increasing these incentives to address this problem?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
