The range of offerings in French second language across the country is varied. So in our province of Nova Scotia we have early immersion, middle immersion, and late immersion, integrated French, core French. So we have the variety.
My own experience where I work is late immersion. We made that decision.
With respect to St. Francis Xavier University, what they did was parallel one they had in existence. It's a master's of education in resource. It is for the formation of resource teachers to work in schools with students with learning disabilities.
This one is taught in French. There are a number of us who teach different pieces. There is a cohort of eighteen. Nine, I believe, come from the Halifax Regional School Board, where they have early immersion.
So these are teachers who will end up in schools providing support to students who may experience.... That supports what we know from the work that all children can achieve success, if they have the support. Some children need more support than others.
We are very pleased about that in Nova Scotia. We are very happy with that. In fact, there is a second cohort starting in January.
