Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Sep, 2015 12:08 PM
    VICTORIA — The B.C. government is rolling out a $1-million plan to educate the teachers on the new provincial curriculum.
     
    Education Minister Mike Bernier announced the funding for the phased-in curriculum that highlights collaboration and critical thinking by students while focusing on the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic.
     
    Bernier says the Kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum will be fully implemented by the 2017-2018 school year.
     
    Schools have the option this year of starting to implement the new curriculum up to Grade 9.
     
    The minister says the announcement, attended by the BC Teachers Association, trustees, principals, superintendents and parent organizations, is a sign of the wide-ranging commitment to improving education.
     
    Bernier says dedicated time over three years to help teachers prepare for the curriculum is worth $100 million.
