In Saskatchewan, the only training program for francophone teachers is at the University of Regina, which offers a bachelor of education in French. I'm a graduate of that program. In addition, a teacher from my school board currently has a job training these teachers. It's a great teacher training program.
It's important to understand that teaching in minority language communities is a specialization in itself. It's not easy. It has its own intricacies that are not found anywhere else. We see that when we bring in teachers from a majority language community. We work on these programs and support them as best we can so that the next generation of teachers can return to our communities, because we need them.
