Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there were several questions there. On the statistics on graduates, we have those and we can make those available to the Member.
With regard to the question as to why it takes longer in the communities, we do not have a quick answer on that particular one.
On the variety of programs available in the communities, I understand what the Member is saying. We have been working on the distance education system. It was piloted this past spring with a pilot project out of Norman Wells. It has proven to be very successful. It had the teacher in Normal Wells delivering a northern studies program. There were a number of students who participated in that in various communities. I believe, and I could be corrected on this, but one was in Aklavik, Yellowknife, Hay River, and I cannot remember the others.
The feedback we received was that it was very successful and well-received. From there, we signed a memorandum of understanding with the Calgary school board to develop and deliver a possibility of 30 more programs. The curriculum accessibility for students will increase as time goes, and will be more available as of this fall for some students.
This summer, we are training ten teachers to be educator supervisors, and we will continue that training program throughout the year. Thank you.
