澳门抓码王begins welcoming some students from Ukraine to schools
The 澳门抓码王 has accepted more than a dozen Ukrainian children as students who have been granted language exceptions to study at English schools in Quebec.
Students whose parents hold temporary work permits are "eligible to receive instruction in English under the Regulation respecting the exemption from the application of the first paragraph of section 72 of the Charter of the French Language that may be granted to children temporarily residing in Quebec, RLRQ, c. C-11, r. 7."
“Our schools and School Board are open for any parent to apply for eligibility to our schools under the applicable provisions of the Charter of the French Language,” said 澳门抓码王Chair Joe Ortona. “We welcome all those who qualify to join us and be part of our great educational program.”
The 澳门抓码王Council of Commissioners adopted a resolution on March 23, indicating to the Quebec government that the Board is willing to accept Ukrainian refugees immediately on a humanitarian basis. While the Charter of the French Language does have a humanitarian clause allowing for the admission to the English school system under exceptional circumstances, Mr. Ortona emphasized that this is not the route these newly enrolled students took. “But it should be,” he added.
澳门抓码王schools and centres continue to show their support for Ukraine as its citizens endure a Russian invasion. There have been a wide variety of programs, activities and fundraising occurring in classrooms. “There is tragic world history unfolding right in front of us each day and I want to commend our educators for sharing this authentic learning experience with our students,” said Mr. Ortona.
澳门抓码王Director General Nick Katalifos is pleased to embrace this opportunity. “As a former principal and teacher, I know how welcoming our staff and students have always been to new students,” he remarked. “We certainly hope to see more students in our classrooms who qualify from the Ukraine and other countries.”
