Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The desired pathway would not give a diploma. It would give a certificate and it would be our own Northwest Territories certificate. It would be for those students who do not wish to go on to University but would like to get into an occupation, as Minister Ootes mentioned. They would take, for example, applications. That is a new curriculum we have developed this year, although we do not yet have the resource money for that. It is an applied course of studies rather than theoretical.
For example, we would have a communications English rather than a literature course. These courses that we are looking at for our students so they will experience success are not necessarily on the same level as those students who would go on to University. They would be our own certificates. They would not come from Alberta, versus a diploma where the student would take the grade 12 diploma exams.
The course that Minister Ootes has mentioned, SNAP, we do not have many students taking SNAP. One of the reasons is that you need higher level courses to take SNAP, which are the apprenticeship courses. You can take 15 credits in those. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
