Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The delivery of high school programs, at the community level, is coordinated by
the divisional education councils and many of the courses that are delivered are selected by the council in cooperation with the district education authority. There is the flexibility in the high school program to add modules from the Career and Technology Studies Program, the CTS Program, which reflects specific competencies and skills that the community might wish to see developed in their students. That is one approach to delivering enhanced programming, whether it is for home management or for mechanics or for a number of other areas. As well, Mr. Chairman, we are working with the divisional education councils to examine what the best supports are for high school programs at the community level. I would point out though, Mr. Chairman, that with CTS programs, it is not a requirement that they be offered, so much as it is an option whereby the community can influence the program that is delivered and can ensure that the high school program is responsive to the needs of that community. Thank you.
