Thank you, Madam Speaker. This is a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Ningark on October 11, 1994 with regard to Education, Culture and Employment's policy for student exchange programs.
Student travel and exchanges are important educational activities. The Department of Education, Culture and Employment provides some funding directly to boards and divisional boards of education to contribute to the travel and exchange activities of their students.
Individuals and groups may apply for the support for these activities through their board or divisional board of education. Decisions on student travel and exchange proposals are made by the boards.
The department has prepared information regarding student travel and exchange programs in a report called, "A Guide for NWT Teachers and Students: Travel, Awards, Exchanges, Scholarships, Contests and Other Opportunities." I will provide all Members with a copy of this guide for their information. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
