Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe the Member was asking about support for people who are training to become teachers. I guess I would say that the support we provide to all students, whether they're learning to be social workers or teachers or any other occupation, is the same standard of support according to our program standards.
The Member referred to us using Alberta standards. Again, I'm not sure, but I suspect the Member is asking about using the Alberta curriculum. One of the things we do use, especially in high school, is the Alberta grade 12 departmental exams in order to provide some indication of comparability in terms of how our students are doing. Being a very small jurisdiction, it would be very expensive for us to set up our own system for exams.
I guess I should point out that, in recognition of the fact that we do have significantly different cultures in the Northwest Territories, the department has developed an Inuktitut curriculum, called Inuuqatigiit, which is available for K to 9 right now, and is being developed for all the way through to grade 12. That should be available all across Nunavut fairly soon.
I believe the Member asked whether or not we could provide assistance to people who wanted to become teachers who do not have grade 12. In fact, most of our teacher education programs do have an access year before the actual teacher education program. So we do have access programs available to help people upgrade their skills so they are prepared to get into a teacher education program. Those are all the questions I remember, Mr. Chairman.
