Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.
- Since its inception, how many ABE students have attended the Aurora College program in Behchoko?
- How many of these students have completed their programs? How many have received certification? At what level are these certifications?
- What programs besides ABE have been offered to help those students currently in the workforce or who are wishing to upgrade their skills to enter the workforce?
- The college has cited attendance being a challenge with this program. What was the average rate of attendance for this program on a yearly basis?
- What was the average rate of attendance per program for September to December 2006?
- Has the Department of Education or Aurora College investigated why attendance has been a problem in this program? Have they met with community leaders to develop an action plan? When and how many meetings, Mr. Speaker? If not, why not?
- What changes has the college made to improve the level of programming in Behchoko?
- Will the department conduct a review of the current Aurora College programming in Behchoko including courses being offered, evaluation of instructors, relevancy of the programming, et cetera?
Mahsi.
