MOTION 22-17(5): FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Thursday, June 5, 2014, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, that the Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment identify and seek new funding to support the implementation of junior kindergarten instead of reducing funding to any other education districts; and further, that the department ensure that the Junior Kindergarten Program be professionally designed and delivered by properly trained staff; and further, that the Junior Kindergarten Program be oriented toward early childhood development and not a hybrid Junior Kindergarten Program; and further, the department’s rollout of junior kindergarten be focused on communities without an Aboriginal Head Start program; and furthermore, that the government provide a comprehensive response to this motion within 120 days. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Blake.
