We already have plans in place for a third phase of education capacity expansion so that the Université de Saint‑Boniface can accept more education students.
To do this, we built a model by working with school divisions, not just the Franco‑Manitoban School Division, but school divisions that provide French immersion programs throughout Manitoba, including in the north. We know that this area faces challenges. We looked at how to identify the young people currently in school who will become the teachers of the future. We thought about how we could train them, work with them now to address language insecurity, provide workshops and ultimately accept them at the Université de Saint‑Boniface for their first bachelor's degree and then their bachelor's degree in education.
The goal is really to identify them and support them from a young age. We already have a project ready to submit, and we're waiting for funding. To bring the project to fruition, we must also increase the recruitment capacity of the Université de Saint‑Boniface.
