Alberta investing up to $45 million in supports for students in grades 1-3
EDMONTON, AB – The provincial government is making an investment in Alberta’s students.
Premier Jason Kenney noted on Friday that education has been disrupted for many students because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to online learning.
So, the province will be providing up to $45 million in new funding for school authorities to help young learners in grades one through three that are struggling with pandemic-related learning disruptions.
The funding will focus on the areas of literacy and numeracy. Kenney said those are two areas where “many young kids are struggling.”
